Johann Zarco switching to LCR Honda?
Johann Zarco competed in MotoGP with Avintia Ducati in the 2020 season and drew attention especially by taking pole position in the Czech Grand Prix that season. Moving to Pramac Ducati one season later, Zarco became an important part of the Italian manufacturer.
However, Zarco's contract with the team expires after this season, and given Ducati's large talent pool, it wouldn't come as a surprise to lose his spot.
It can be said that Zarco, who is aware of this situation, took action early. Because the LCR Honda seat, which will be vacated by Alex Rins, is a very attractive option for Zarco.
Knowing the team from the past is also an advantage for Zarco. Zarco, who competed in LCR Honda instead of Takaaki Nakagami, who was injured in the 2019 season, managed to reach the podium in all three races.
According to the latest news, there are new developments on the Honda-Zarco front. Both sides seem eager to come to terms with each other.
LCR team principal Lucio Cecchinello said: “We have nothing to hide. Zarco's manager contacted us. We were surprised because Zarco already rides a competitive bike. He also offered us to embark on a long-term project, so he is one of the options on the table.” said.
Repsol Honda team principal Alberto Puig said it was too early to comment at this time. “Johann is fast and experienced at the same time,” said Puig. Someone who has worked with different teams. Our door to him zamThe moment is clear, but I can't comment as we haven't even started negotiations yet.” said.
Zarco's transfer to LCR Honda will be one of the most important signings of the season in MotoGP. Zarco is thought to contribute to Honda's championship fight.
