Zarco explained that the most important thing for him is to continue scoring strong points against standings leader Quartararo.
“For me [it] will be nice to win but clearly second place, 20 points is always amazing for me," Zarco said.
"So, I’m not too worried for the victory and don’t put too much pressure on myself because I believe it can come when everything will be even better in control. “But I’m still growing up on the bike and this is a nice feeling.
“I feel the Ducati has huge potential, I’m trying to do my best to use it every time better and better, and when all the situations are under good control maybe I will have the victory.”
Yamaha are placed at the top of Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Ducati and KTM respectively.
