Things are still moving in Austria. A KTM dirt that is apparently cleaning its house. We know that the Austrian brand will no longer be in Moto2 in 2020, that it will be in Moto3 under the Husqvarna label and that its MotoGP project will be the big priority. But there too, there is something sensational: Johann Zarco would have requested an early departure at the end of this year. Jack Miller is in the starting blocks…
At KTM, we do not break a contract unless the pilot requests it. And that's precisely what would have asked Johann zarco à Stefan pierer, boss of KTM. The latter confirms according to speedweek : " he asked me here at Spielberg if we could end the contract amicably… He will tell us if he wants to pilot until the end of the year. He can decide for himself. He'll tell us if he wants to drive until the end of the year. He suddenly seemed completely relaxed when he obtained my consent for the termination of the contract”.
The KTM adventure is a way of the cross for Johann zarco who does not see the beginning of the end of the tunnel with the RC16. We know that the rumor Lorenzo has shaken things up at Ducati, drawing attention to a Jack Miller who was contacted by KTM. Before or after a process of Johann zarco which needs to be refined? Response over the next few hours. We will see if we will have to lift the conditional tense to conjugate the event in the present…
Bombshell: KTM CEO Stefan Pierer confirms @SpeedweekMag Zarco has requested to end relationship with Austrian factory. “He asked me here in Spielberg if we can resolve the contract amicably … He will tell us if he wants to drive until the end of the year.” https://t.co/fopkotu75R
