Here, Claude Michy clarified for us the situation of the French pilot with a statement whose full force came from its simplicity: “His situation is very clear. Johann has a Ducati contract. With a 2019 motorcycle and with Ducati staff. And he will be sheltered at Avintia. »

At the same time, Jean-Louis Bernardelli broadcast the information that the double Moto2 world champion was going to the Borgo Panigale factory today.

Finally, our colleagues from Motorcycle Journal managed to contact the ex-official KTM rider and collect short remarks which illustrate the situation well and from which we can draw the following facts:
- Johann zarco signed a contract,
– after convincing him, Luigi Dall'Igna looking for a good mechanic boss,
- The objective of Johann zarco is to appear in the top 10 in the short term before joining the official team in 2021.

The good news is that there is now no doubt that Johann zarco will be in MotoGP in 2020!
