“I'm old enough not to worry if what I do bothers someone or🌺 not. I cannot tolerate the childish behaviour of a 53-year-old man.
"I know what I have to work on. Jean-Mic📖hel was a guide, but I am able to draw up a training program for myself.”
Zarco did offer a few words of appreciation: "Jean-Michel made me understand that I would have to progress on the physical siꦐde to be more 🐠lucid, I have to admit .
“His point of view is interesting and he pushed me to𝕴 train more."
Bayle had previously remarked on his exit: "It is with disappointment a🔜nd with the feeling of an unfinished challengeꦆ that this adventure with Johann Zarco ends.
"I had analysed a lot of things to work on during the 2022 season and 💞I was counting a lot on this winter to improve them.
“For various reasons, it was🌄 impossible to set my schedulওe and training strategy for this new 2023 season.
“I knew that changing habits is not easy. See you soon for new challenges and new adve🔴ntures."
