Johann Zarco is motivated for this 2020 season on which he is counting to forget his bad patch in 2019. With a motorcycle derived from the series, he is in Misano, facing the machines of WSBK and also the MotoGP of four manufacturers who made the trip to the Adriatic. As he is a driver of a satellite team of a factory which does not benefit from regulatory “concession points” like KTM and Aprilia, the Frenchman rides with what he can. And he sends a message...
The situation at Ducati is quite vague at the moment and the uncertainty born from a Andrea Dovizioso who is having his ear pulled to renew his lease. The question is economic, they say in public. But some are starting to speak openly of a desire to retire.
We must therefore take a date. Johann zarco is therefore in his role when he declares to Sky Sports : " the only place left is within the Ducati Official team with Dovizioso's handlebars, and I know I have a good chance if Dovi decides to quit ". He adds : " " Dovi is important for the factory because he is a driver who can get on the podium in any race, and that is the place of an official team ».
“I want to be with Ducati”
On his personal case, the Frenchman specifies: “ I'm regaining confidence, I need it to go quickly, we'll see how it goes. I will have to wait a few races, then I will understand my situation better ". But he has one certainty: “ I want to be with Ducati. I still don't know what will happen with Avintia, but the transition to Pramac is possible. They have the official bike, I could take Jack's place and keep my team with Rigamonti. We will understand better after a few races, I still have to wait ».
It will be recalled, however, thatAvintia has already stated that he wishes to keep John Zarco in 2021 while at Pramac, unless bagnaia be disavowed, it is a Jorge Martin synonymous with succession which would be the priority.
