168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco’s shock victory in Sunday’s French MotoGP also came at a pivotal moment iꦰn his 2026 H꧂onda contract negotiations.

Zarco delꦗivered a masterclass in wet-dry conditions at Le Mans, becoming the first French rider to win his home grand prix sin🦂ce 1954.

But he also gave Honda a much-needed first MotoGP victory since Alex Rins at COTA in 2023 - also aboard an LCR machine.

With Zarco already the top Honda rider in the world championship standings, Sunday’s win added further weight to his campaign for a factory seat next season, in place of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini, whose contract also expires this year.

“I’m so happy to🐟 get a second victory in MotoGP. But clearly to have it here, it’s even more special,” said Zarco, whose previous win was with Pramac Ducati. 

“What 🍒makes me very happy too is this historic line in the motorcycle book, about winning the French GPꦏ as a French rider.”

“Plus, there’s Honda. Rins came to me a๊nd said, ‘You’ve stolen from me the last vi🔯ctory of Honda!’ 

"W💮hen he told me that, I was kind of proud because I didn’༺t realise it straight away.”

“I will stay with Honda... Now it will be a question of time”

Asked directly wh𝓡ether Sunday's result might heꩵlp secure a move to the official Honda team for 2026, Zarco replied:

“Maybe! The discussions with Hon♎da were very, very good even before the ꦉvictory. 

"Because the work I’m doing and the feeling I have with♚ them, with the teaꩲm, and the way we work, we are very happy.

“And so, I know that I will stay with Honda, we just need to decidꦺe if… I’m waiting on what Honda really wants🅠. We are speaking very clearly also with Lucio.

“We have the full supporꦚt from Honda, even in LCR. But clearly, victory can give a bit more, so let’s see. 

"Buꦗt the discussion is so positive. Now it will be a question of time to know where to go.”

Zarco is ꦏsixth in the world championship with Marini 13th, Joan Mir 19th and rookie Somkiat Chantra yet to score.

The most recent MotoGP victory for Honda's factory team was by current Ducati title leader Marc Marquez at M💯isano in 2021.
