Each day is enough for its punishment in the Johann Zarco case. From Honda to Avintia Ducati via Moto2 with Marc VDS, yesterday we also saw a relaunch from Yamaha for the position of test rider. But now from our special correspondent in Valencia, present for the two days of testing, comes the rumor that, ultimately, Ducati has done what is necessary to make the Avintia structure attractive to the Frenchman, who, however, had not been tender with her during the Valencia Grand Prix…

We are working to strengthen our structure. We are no longer customers but a team of satellites. If the operation is carried out successfully, with Zarco we could achieve great satisfaction. »
