Johann Zarco will therefore finish the season at LCR Honda. From the Australian Grand Prix, the Frenchman will return to the MotoGP grid. A decision with multiple consequences even before the first results fall. Valentino Rossi for Yamaha, Jorge Lorenzo for Honda and Cal Crutchlow for his finger explain…
Johann zarco has decided to go all out in three end-of-season Grands Prix aboard a Honda that he doesn't yet know. But it is said that it is not easy... The Frenchman assumes by saying that if, this time, he does not get through it, his legitimacy in MotoGP will have to be considered. He also knows that by making this choice, he closed the Yamaha door. Definitely ? Time will tell. But what is certain is that the opening is now less wide.
A trend confirmed by this release of Valentino Rossi : “ it's a shame, because we knew he would come to Yamaha as a test rider. He had driven the M1 before and could help us. The Test Team project is very important and if Zarco doesn't come we will have to find another fast driver for next year » commented the Doctor.
The arrival of zarco at Honda does not leave you indifferent either Jorge Lorenzo : " it's a decision of LCR and Honda. I think Zarco was hired because he is a fast driver and because Takaaki is injured. Why not ? Maybe Zarco will be very fast with the Honda. Maybe he will fight for pole position. We will see it in Australia. I can't judge that. No one can predict thisthere. »
On the prediction side, you have to see Cal Crutchlow, who will therefore be the Frenchman’s teammate: “ I will cut my finger if Zarco can handle the Honda better than the KTM. » Will the Englishman have to amputate?
