The edition of 86th Bol d'Or, which will take place from September 15 to 17, will welcome the very active presence of Johann zarco on the Paul Ricard circuit.

No, the double Moto 2 World Champion will not participate in the race, although we would not be totally stunned if he did one day, such is his passion for motorcycling and his desire to take on challenges. But although it is not on the handlebars, the MotoGP rider will still take some risks…

Not by waving the flag at the time of departure on Saturday at 15 p.m., since the Cannes resident has just been made official as the starter of the race...

“Yes, the fictitious start since you need an official marshal to give a start” specified Johann zarco in the show After Sunday #9

But rather on Saturday evening, where the Ducati Pramac rider and future LCR Honda rider will take the neck of his guitar to sing a song in front of the endurance fans alongside the Engine group (made up of actors from the motorcycle world) .

“But above all, I will come and discover this endurance atmosphere. Bol d'Or, Castelet, it's next to the house. Take advantage of that, and especially invited by the group Engine to play on stage. So, yes, I don’t know, 3 or 4 songs with them on guitar. I'm learning the electric guitar a little now. There are one or two pieces that I add to them. I wanted to do a bit of Elmer Food Beat to make a bit of self-mockery, because I'm not here to do a singing performance and so I preferred a song where there is less singing performance, and therefore less subject matter. to criticism, but which is still rather funny, naughty, and given the audience there will be at the Bol d'Or, I think it will go down well. » 

You have been warned, Johann zarco will set fire on stage and in the crowd of fans! Figuratively, of course...
