Johann Zarco's tenure with the LCR Honda team got off to an auspicious start, following years of change and challenges. Zarco, who already had a brief experience with LCR in 2019, took over after drivers like Cal Crutchlow, Alex Marquez, and Alex Rins, bringing a new dynamic to the team.
Lucio Cecchinello, the boss of LCR, is full of praise for John Zarco, emphasizing his methodical and even… artistic approach. “ For me, Johann is like an artist because he devotes himself entirely to his tasks. ", said Cecchinello in an interview at Motorsport-Total.com. " It is remarkable and very pleasant to see how he likes to work with so much concentration. He likes to be surrounded by professionals. In the way he speaks to employees, he also wants to work on improving himself and the bike, not just complaining »
zarco accepted the challenge to help Honda to catch up technologically, showing a different attitude from the one he had when he joined KTM in 2019. At that time the partnership failed, but now, at 33 years, zarco has matured and is ready to take on this new challenge.
