5 JOHANN ZARCO

“We come into the final round of the Asian treble first in the standings, and with three riders battling for the title in the final two races. The Sepang International Circuit is a very nice track, where I normally go fairly well. We will have to work hard, since the surface has been relayed and we will have to see how the tyres behave. We have the first opportunity to take the title and this motivates me a lot. I am happy to be able to have this chance in Malaysia and will do my best to attack and win.”
