“Other teams interested” - what does the future hold for Johann Zarco?

But his ageꦓnt now insists that he will stay at Pramac Racing in 2024 - despite the🎀 interest from other teams.
His teammate Jorge Martin and Mooney VR46’s Marco Bezzecchi have both pleaded for the best possible machinery as they fight fac♉𒅌tory Ducati rider Francesco Bagnaia for the MotoGP title, leading to speculation about Zarco’s future.
“It's going well, all the lights are green,” says his agent Guillau🧸me Valladeau to .
“Our goal is to stay with Ducati, tha🌳t's for sure. We are good in this team and I think Gino Borsoi is very happy with Johann, as are Paolo Campinoti and Paolo Ciabatti.
“They do everything to keep Johann going.
“🍃Johann works a lot and we do everything to stay where we are.
“Everything he put in place before the start of the se𝕴ason is starting to pay off.
“I hope to get feedback from ❀Ducati in the first ha🌳lf of July to find out where we are.”

The Frenchman💜 is keeping his options open, because he is not currently guaranteed a contract for next season.
"When I am contacted or invited to have a coffee to discuss Jo🗹hann's situation, I gladly accept," jokes Valladeau.
“The🦹re are other teams t﷽hat are interested in Johann and they are sensitive to his results.
“He has just had a superb start to the season and he obviousl🎃y deserves the attention of the other teams.
“I a♚m attentive to what is happening elsewhere, but it is done in a transparent and professional manner.
☂"Johann performs well, so it's completely normal to listen to the projects of the other teams, but our priority remains Ducati.
“Our goal is to have a great 2023 season,♚ a great 2024 season and for 2025, the driver market will be totally different.
“Today, Pr❀amac is at the top of the team standings, Johann is fifth in the championship, so it would be the logical next step to continue where we are.”
One suggest✃ed move, with Yamaha in WorldSBK, has been shut down.
“All brands are interested 🍸in Johann in S🐟uperbike, but he will still be in MotoGP.”
Zarco has achieved four podium fin🦩ishes in eight grands 𒅌prix this season, and sits fifth in the MotoGP standings.
But, in his seventh premier class season, his wait fo♕r a MotoGP race victory goes 𒊎on.
