Given how the 2020 season has gone, a question arises: is it really necessary to be a rider in a factory team to win the MotoGP world title? Certainly, Joan Mir, Suzuki official, showed that the brand's colors won in the end. But there is no satellite GSX-RR while if we look at Yamaha, six of the seven victories taken by the M1 in 14 races are due to Petronas. A situation which has not escaped Johann Zarco who is making it his honey for 2021…

Johann zarco, we know, has come a long way. Twelve months ago, his Grand Prix career was down to the stubbornness of a Claude Michy to find him a handlebar. An attentive ear was found in Ducati, who placed him with Avintia, with an unflattering reputation. But on his GP19, the Frenchman has rediscovered the sense of walking and even the summits. When it became clear that a handlebar was up for grabs from the factory team, Johann zarco logically put himself in line.

But he crossed the Rossi liner which took him away from the shore of Borgo Panigale, finally reached by Pecco Bagnaia. However, the Pramac doors have opened, which is far from a bad deal. It would even be excellent to take a good look at the appearance of MotoGP in the world according to...

John Zarco: “Pramac, in fact, it’s all good”

« I think he helped me a lot this year, so there's a way he could help me as much next year. On that, I have no doubt. Everyone is starting to find their balance and it's so tight that perhaps that's what allows the satellites to make up for the gap they had with the officials, to make less of a difference. This is the analysis I can make of why factories no longer make as many differences” thinks Johann Zarco who ends: « I feel like an official driver but almost without the media pressure of a real Factory driver. In fact, it's all good ". And Johann zarco had done the real good business in the clan Ducati ?

It will be recalled that Johann will be the eldest of the six drivers equipped with Desmosedici since Ducati did a roundup on the new wave. George Martin will also be at Pramac, the Moto2 World champion bastianini and his dolphin Luca Marini will be starting at Avintia with two GP19s. In the factory team, Jack Miller et Pecco Bagnaia will be first in line. With, precisely, the pressure...
