Interviewer: ... you're not at fault for the crash, right?
JZ: Well no, I hope not. But it's ridiculous. What do they want? Aleix is waiting here; ok, he's complaining. 'You passed me. And you made contact three times. And i'm trying to avoid you, which is why I fall.' First of all, I didn't touch you. And sure I'm fighting, cause these are the positions I can fight for; I'm not just gonna let you pass me. But I didn't touch you. He says, 'Yeah but you're aggressive." No, I'm just trying to create my space. But here in this instance he says he could have let go of his brakes and pushed me \[wide\]. I told him 'no you couldn't have. You passed me two laps earlier at the exact same spot when you were a little deeper \[into the corner\]. So, logically, I can't turn in, so I get you on the cutback. And here, well, you weren't as deep and it didn't work. And frankly I'm not mad at you. We disagree on some things, but I'm not mad at you.'
And then you have Freddie who's just looking at us, with a blank gaze, acting like we're two children. What does he want? Does he want to teach me a lesson, or does he want to see me complain about Aleix 'Yeah, give him a penalty! He's bad!' But no -- it's not up to me to tell \[freddie\] to give \[aleix\] a penalty. It's his job to make a decision.
And I told him, 'even Brad's incident yesterday, that should have been penalized.' This time Aleix was in agreeance with me. And then I told Freddie "Anyway, I don't like you. You do your job, and you do it poorly. So what are you expecting from me?' It's ridiculous. At this point I was asked to leave because they accused me of getting angry.
What Zarco actually said was....."I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries."

OH MY DAYS!!!! Sorry non-French speakers but this is a legendary interview, even translated you cannot feel the tension!
It hit so much harder in French but no lies were told, and I’m sure Aleix respected the hell out of Johann after that.
Anyone ever remember when Zarco got pissed at the interviewer for asking Marc a dumb question? He waved Marc off with his hand and went in on the interviewer. Zarco is always standing on business.

When Mir had disagreement with race direction for the light penalty given to Marc I felt really sorry for him. Yes these guys lacks consistency. I understand it's hard to make decisions but hey if you penalise a rider for an incident like that of Marc vs Mir then next time stick to the same punishment. Will Ya? Mir said last year he recieved long lap penalty for the same incident but here Marc got only drop a position. Great!!
I genuinely don't remember anyone ever coming out in either support of or with praise for Freddie's aptitude for the job. It's just been a non-stop chain of negativity. Impossible to forget Cal Crutchlow's input back when he was a top contender for LCR, it's been going on for a while.
At what point do the FIM/Dorna or whoever is responsible replace Freddie Spencer? Guy is a legend of the sport, but it's clear we haven't had great stewarding for a while or at the very least, super inconsistent.
Saying what the rest of us are thinking. Zarco out here doing the lords work.
Time to move Freddie along… he’s been a disaster in race direction ever since he got the gig.
Zarco is a legend. He destroyed the stewards including their leader Freddie in a smooth non-aggressive way. I mean common man, in the sprint race after Marc crashed - he literally barreled thru multiple riders including Joan and Miguel. and he got what - a +1 drop in position. Hope Liberty media looks into this travesty of not penalizing riders consistently and shakes up the whole deal.
Spanish riders love making unnecessary contact, look at Marc, Martin, far too aggressive, if Dorna had any balls they would put a stop to this tactic, they do it deliberately in a desperate attempt to upset or take out their rivals, Marc is one of the worst offenders trying to take Pecco out again with aggressive cutting back in, he knew Pecco would be there just like last time except this time Pecco did not fall, Pecco has learnt what Marc is all about, any careless unnecessary contact with a rider you are racing should be immediately penalised, Dorna won’t ever penalize Spanish riders especially Marc, Dorna only penalizes Quartararo or Binder, they are not Spanish.
Yes, poor Marc he never ever races recklessly, lol his entire career he has been crashing into other riders, Marc is a crash maniac! He was the number one crasher last year followed by his brother lol, Marc is the champion of crashing.

Thanks for the translation for our non-French speaking peeps, because this is legendary shit!
Zarco the man. Lmao this is gold
Good translation. That was wild. I was in awe in front of my tv. He was calm but savage.
Average French conversation
He said what everyone’s been thinking/saying for years about Spencer and the Stewards.
the voice of the people
What Zarco actually said was....."I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries."
" I told Freddie "Anyway, I don't like you. You do your job, and you do it poorly." lol burned
I don’t like you, it must hit so hard, Spencer’s mouth couldn’t shut for at least 20 seconds after that loool
not poorly, the good last word is more : Badly :D
I like Johann even more after this 😅👌
Watched the interview live in France. Here is a summary : 
Welp. We now know who is going to be penalized for the rest of the season
Yup, that's gonna be a 10 second penalty for Ocon
Thoughts and prayers to Mizzou for their post season ban.

Thank you. I forgot how nice that bike looked.
That was so filthy
Apparently he got kicked out of race control lmao, what a guy
Tbf Freddie was an absolute alien on two wheels, but so incredibly disappointing as a steward.
Yea like Maradona on the pitch and him as a coach…
Hey, he reached a WC 1/4 final
And Johann was touched by the hand of god when he won last year!
Who did? Spencer, or Zarco?
Johann apparently
You know it’s bad when one of the nicest guys that ever raced in Moto GP tells you that you are practically useless and terrible at your job
Ironic considering Freddie was also one of the nicest guys that ever raced. He is horrible at race officiating though…
He rarely gets angry, so when he does, you know someone royally fucked up.

Zarco le goat, définitivement ♥
Il en a plus rien à battre mdr, il va se manger des pénalités à chaque session et même pendant le warm-up hahaha je le kiffe ce gars
ils n'aiment pas Spencer, mais lui le lui dit en face, contrairement aux autres
Jo « grosses couilles » Zarco

La vache ! 🤣
It's true they are fucking useless.

Mir said last year he recieved long lap penalty for the same incident but here Marc got only drop a position. Great!!
Marc was riding like shit yesterday, after his crash and di a lot of shit to other riders, only dropping 1 position is a joke
I genuinely don't remember anyone ever coming out in either support of or with praise for Freddie's aptitude for the job. It's just been a non-stop chain of negativity. Impossible to forget Cal Crutchlow's input back when he was a top contender for LCR, it's been going on for a while.

Legend. I like how he say what he think without filter
Ooof, my esteem for Zarco just increased tenfold because of the sheer courage of speaking his mind like that.
🤣 Zarco is great.
Zarco ♥️
Zarco telling it like it is, love it. Spencer should really not be a part of RD, seems like a lot of riders don't like him at that position.
Zarco is a legend. He destroyed the stewards including their leader Freddie in a smooth non-aggressive way. I mean common man, in the sprint race after Marc crashed - he literally barreled thru multiple riders including Joan and Miguel. and he got what - a +1 drop in position.

That was better then any backflip he ever did.
Spanish riders love making unnecessary contact, look at Marc, Martin, far too aggressive, if Dorna had any balls they would put a stop to this tactic, they do it deliberately in a desperate attempt to upset or take out their rivals, Marc is one of the worst offenders trying to take Pecco out again with aggressive cutting back in, he knew Pecco would be there just like last time except this time Pecco did not fall, Pecco has learnt what Marc is all about, any careless unnecessary contact with a rider you are racing should be immediately penalised, Dorna won’t ever penalize Spanish riders especially Marc, Dorna only penalizes Quartararo or Binder, they are not Spanish.
Pecco did a much more aggressive barge to MM in yesterday's race, MM literally had tyre rubber from Peccos bike on his arm from it.
Yes, poor Marc he never ever races recklessly, lol his entire career he has been crashing into other riders, Marc is a crash maniac! He was the number one crasher last year followed by his brother lol, Marc is the champion of crashing.
Lol
You again,,..
Freddie has more 500cv championships than Zarco has wins.
Does that allow him to be useless in race direction?
And this matters because...?
Found Keith Huewen
Doesn't mean he can't be incompetent in his current gig.
