Johann Zarco at Austrian MotoGP: “Honda seem to want me more than Ducati do”
Zarco reportedly has a lucrative offer from LCR H✅onda on the table for the 2024 MotoGP season.
He insists that he has a “choice” despite his Pramac ꩵRacing seat being touted for Marco Bezzecchi next year.
"ꦫHonda seem to want me more than Ducati do,” Zarco said at the Austrian MotoGP.
“But also,🔜 Ducati is performing well with a great bike, so I could also makꦰe this choice, in order to keep fighting at the top."
He confirmed that he hasn’t held sig💙nificant talks with Ducati about his future since the previous MotoG🍒P round at Silverstone.
"We knew that between Silverstone and Austria t😼here would be few discussions, so we'll see what happens this weekend,” he said.
"I'൩m not worried. In any case, I'll have the choice, which it's a good thing."
Zarco’s assertion that he will have a choice bet𓆏ween Honda and Ducati is intriguing.
It had been reported that Bezzecchi had the choice between taking 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 want🥃s a factory bඣike, and to stay at VR46).
LCR🐠 Honꦇda have a vacancy to fill since Alex Rins left for Yamaha.
Zarco’s weekend in Austria got ꦿoff to the perfect start as he went fastest in the first practice session on Friday.
