The Japanese rider has so far endured a nightmare 2023 MotoGP campaign, as have all Honda r🍷iders, but the signing of Zarco could be about to help give them some much needed direction.

Not only has Zarco been very com🅺petitive over the last few seasons, but he has also done so on the best bike on the 𒈔grid.

• Alex Marquez: Zarco to Honda? ‘Good💃 luck🔯! With all respect…’ 
• Two Ducati Moto𒁃GP seats are available in 20🙈24, so the race is on...

Ducati have been the manufacturer to beat since t💫he middle of last season and Zarco’s experience and talent has seen him constantly churn out good r🌠esults.

The French rider has also served as♑ a key te𒅌ster for Ducati, with many new parts first being used by Zarco before filtering through to the factory team. 

Zarco’s departure from Duc๊ati to Honda is a surprise given the performances levels of both brands at the moment, but Nakagami is sure the former Moto2 champion can aid Honda.

Discussing Ho📖nda’s new signing, Nakagami also hinted that his future will remain at LCR.

"This is v🥀ery positive news for HRC and definitely for Honda. Johann is a 𝐆very strong rider and he’s always competitive," said Nakagami. 

"The last four years 🐎he has been using Ducati bikes, so he can give some comments to Honda and maybe he can bring some secrets to Honda. 

"Definitely good news and I’m really ꧅happy. I’m really looking forward to working with him in the same team. 

"I𒐪t will be difficult to beat him but hopefully we can, altogether build up [the bike] together."
