Johann Zarco at Austrian MotoGP: “Honda seem to want me more than Ducati do”
Zarco reportedly has a lucrati🌠ve offer from LCR ꦐHonda on the table for the 2024 MotoGP season.
He insists that he has a “choice” ꧂despite his Pramac Racing seat being touted forꦺ Marco Bezzecchi next year.
"Honda seem to want me more than Ducati do,” Zarco said at the Austr♎ian MotoGP.
“But also, Ducati is performing well with a great bike, so I cou💟ld also make this choice, in order to keep fighting at the top."
He 💜confirmed 🌠that he hasn’t held significant talks with Ducati about his future since the previous MotoGP round at Silverstone.
"We knew that between Silverstone and Austria there would be few discussions, so we'll see what happens t🍌his weekend,” he said.
"I'm not worried. Inꦺ any case, I'll have the choice, which it's a good thing."
Zarco’s assertion that꧒ he will have a choice between Honda and Ducati is intriguing.
It had been reported that Bezzecchi had the choice between ta꧑king Zarco’s 2024-spec bike at Pramac next year, or remaining on a 2023 bike at ♍Mooney VR46.
Bezzecchi has said in Austria that he is hoping for “a better solution” for himself (it is believed he wants a factory bike, ℱand to stay at VR46).
LCR Honda have a vacancy to𝓰 fill since Alex Rins le🌞ft for Yamaha.
Zarco’s weekend in Austrꦆia got off to the perfect start as he went fastest in the first practice session on Friday.
