Raging Zarco: Bastianini tried to be “a hero” - crash could’ve been “tragic”

Johann Zarco blasted Enea Bastianini for trying to be “a hero” but risking “disaster” at the Catalunya MotoGP.

“Because there is always someone who switches too much,” he claimed.“Maybe it can happen because the first turn is tight. But not so tight…”

Zarco insisted that any set-up changes or tweaks made for the track are no excuse for riders to pass recklessly.“But, some of them don’t take it into consideration. “I know many things can happen at the first turn, at the start, the moment where you can gain the most positions. “We need to accept that it’s not a great weekend. To gain three positions or six positions, okay, this can change your race.“I’m like the old man speaking, that we should control ourselves!Bastianini was hit with a double long lap penalty for the manoeuvre which enraged Zarco.

But he couldn’t restart due to injuries sustained in the pile-up so must serve the penalty whenever he returns.“A long lap penalty here destroys your race because, in Barcelona, it’s like going to see the cathedral then coming back!”
