Qatar crashes left Zarco feeling like an amateur
Johann Zarco has admitted that his crashes during his debut MotoGP weekend
with KTM in Qatar made him feel like he "doesn't know anything about bikes".
Johann Zarco承認在首次在卡達代表KTM登場的周末摔車，讓他感覺自己像是"對機車一無
所知"。
While the Frenchman's target for his first race with the Austrian marque was
a top-10 finish, Zarco lined up 21st on the grid and went on to score a
single point in 15th.
Zarco had struggled in practice in particular, and crashed twice on Saturday,
once in FP3 and then in qualifying, which he said made him feel like he
didn't know what he was doing.
"I was disappointed a few times and really sad yesterday [Saturday] after my
two crashes," he said.
"It was cold and I was crashing like a rookie - not even like a rookie, just
like a guy who goes to a track and doesn't know anything from the bike.
"That made me sad, but today [Sunday] it's already deleted."
儘管這位法國人代表奧地利品牌的首戰目標是前十名完賽，但卻以排位21起跑最後15名作
收得到1分積分。
Zarco在練習時表現得特別掙扎，並在周六摔了兩次，一次在FP3而另一次在QP，他表示這
讓自己感覺不知道在做甚麼。
他表示:"昨天摔了兩次車之後，我幾次感覺失望而且真的很低落"。
"天氣很冷而且我摔得像個菜鳥 - 連菜鳥也不是，我就是個完全不懂車的路人亂入圍場"
。
"這讓我很傷心，但我今天已經擺脫了"。
Zarco said that finishing 15th gave him a "symbolic point" for his debut with
KTM.
While he felt that KTM performed better than expected, the Frenchman also
"accepts" that the RC16 isn't a winning package right now.
"It's like a symbolic point, 15th position - it has been a hard race," he
added. "I knew I cannot have the package right now to make high performance,
but I know it, I accept and I push myself.
"I think even all the KTM, we got better ways than what we could expect. And
the gap [to the winner Andrea Dovizioso] at the end, 15 seconds, is not
ridiculous.
"It bring us some good vibes to look forward. It is part of the experience,
and 22 laps in a row, in the end it was the first time we do.
"It is really important to do it, and finish the race, because from that I
have now a factory team and that's the quality that during the two weeks they
will make strong analysis."
Zarco表示15名完賽給他代表KTM首次出賽"標誌性的一點"。
他感覺KTM表現的比期待中好，但法國人也"同意"RC16現在並不是能勝利的戰車。
"標誌性的一點, 第15名 - 這是場艱難的比賽" 他補充道 "我懂自己現在拿不到能做出好
成績的裝備，但我面對它，接受(現狀?)並且鞭策自己"。
"我想即使是整個KTM，(也覺得)我們表現的比期待中好。 距離[冠軍Dovi]15秒並不絕望"
"這讓我們對未來有一點好的期待，首次在賽道上的22圈會是經驗的一部分。"
"(出賽)並完成比賽對我們非常重要，因為通過比賽我們成為一個廠隊，而且接下來的兩
個禮拜他們會對成績作許多的分析"
Zarco's teammate Pol Espargaro, who finished 12th, said he had "mixed
feelings" about his result.
He highlighted KTM had more then halved its deficit to the winning rider in
Qatar since 2018, with the Spaniard finishing only 12 seconds behind
Dovizioso, but admitted the position is "not enough".
"We must be happy because the gap between us and first is minimal," said
Espargaro. "We’ve been really close, but at the same time we finish 12th.
Feels good, but also feels like not enough.
"When you are close you start to look at the top guys and you start to think
what’s going on and where we are losing such a small gap per lap.
"I think we are talking 0.3s or 0.4s per lap. It’s not much, but we are
losing it in some acceleration [zones], we’re spinning quite a lot, and
losing that small gap is painful."
Zarco的隊友Pol Espargaro以12名完賽，他表示對這個成績"感覺複雜"。
他特別提到KTM跟冠軍車手的差距從2018到現在縮短超過一半(去年卡達站B.Smith
+31.704), 西班牙人最後僅落後Dovi 12秒，但他承認這個位置"不夠"。
Espargaro表示: "我們應該對自己跟領先者的差距正在縮短而開心"。 "我們正在接近，
但同時我們以12名完賽。感覺很好，但是也感覺還不夠。"
"當你接近了就會開始瞄準頂尖的傢伙們，也會開始思考每一圈該怎樣縮短差距。"
"我想我們說的是每圈0.3或0.4秒。不是很多，但我們在同一個加速[區域]中慢了，我們
嚴重打滑，而且丟掉那些關鍵的時間"
