Johann Zarco evolves in a positive atmosphere within a Pramac team which suits him perfectly. The Frenchman has no other ambition than to stay where he is. He makes no fuss, brings valuable points to his employers in the championships and makes useful adjustments to the Desmosedici for its development. Everything indicates that its journey will continue in 2023 and beyond. But in MotoGP, nothing is ever taken for granted…
At Ducati, Pecco Bagnaia, Jack Miller, George Martin, Enea Bastianini et Johann zarco have signed contracts with the manufacturer, which means that Marco Bezzecchi, Luca marini et Fabio DiGiannantonio are only linked to their respective team. The Ducati scene in MotoGP is therefore played out with five players. Among the reds, Pecco Bagnaia in his place until 2024. His current teammate Jack Miller is led to give way to George Martin or to Enea Bastianini.
Two names that lead us to Johann zarco. At Pramac, things may indeed get jostled. Jack Miller will have its place there, but in the case where it is Enea Bastianini who passes on the red Ducati, George Martin will stay where it is. There is therefore danger for the Frenchman who will not necessarily have a way out at Gresini. The diagram is also valid if it is Jorge Martin who settles next to Pecco Bagnaia since, in this case, his place at Pramac will be offered bastianini. Who will then be a teammate of Jack Miller.
Nothing is sure for Johann Zarco
The double Moto2 World Champion will have 32 years old on July 16 and he has not yet won a victory in MotoGP. The Frenchman is now seventh in the World Championship after two falls in four rounds. And at Ducati, other young talents are arriving, Bezzecchi à Drive.
To George Martin, options other than Ducati are now close to zero because at Repsol Honda, we have Joan mir in the viewfinder. At the house of bastianini, we want to stay with Ducati. It would take a Jack Miller freedom-loving to go to KTM or respond favorably to the LCR Honda rumor to secure a slot Johann zarco. Which is not in the plans of the Australian who proclaims to anyone who will listen that he is in Borgo Panigale. The situation of our Frenchman is therefore not so clear. There is no doubt that a victory would help to see things more clearly than the hugs, smiles and beautiful declarations of Paolo Campinoti…The next three MotoGP races at Le Mans, Mugello and Barcelona are promised to be crucial for the upcoming decisions on the side of Ducati.
