Zarco on Nakagami’s Honda LCR for the last three 2019 GPs ?

What has Johann Zarco been doing since his layoff a month ago? He trains, especially in Supermoto, on a KTM, but he could return to MotoGP on Nakagami’s Honda … A full-scale test before replacing the Japanese, Crutchlow or Lorenzo in 2020 ? Mystery and tire balls.

Potentially "freed, delivered" by KTM even before the end of the 2019 season, Johann Zarco would be on a very interesting track: replacing Takaaki Nakagami on the last three MotoGP events scheduled at Phillip Island, Sepang and Valencia !

Victim of the same shoulder problem as Marc Marquez last year, the Japanese driver would like to anticipate his operation as much as possible: the latter would be scheduled immediately after his national Grand Prix at Motegi, in order to allow him to fully recover for the 2020 season..

Taken over by the official MotoGP website, the information comes from our Spanish Motorsport colleagues. "The boss of the LCR team must therefore find a replacement, and it is almost certain that this role will fall to the former KTM driver Zarco", they announce.

Completely unexpected, this news is not completely absurd: the freelance of our two-time Moto2 world champion 2015-2016 and best rookie and private rider MotoGP 2017 could be compared to a job interview we-not-can- more relevant and revealing !

Rather than join the Yamaha development team next year, could Zarco take the place of Nakagami who has not yet signed for 2020? Not easy, because Honda often wanted a compatriot to ride in the premier class on one of its motorcycles. But plausible !

Crazy rumor or crazy rumor ?

By shining in the Grand Prix of Australia, Malaysia and Valencia, Zarco could also – why not! – steal Cal Crutchhlow the RCV he has been piloting for five years. Yes, No.35 is under contract for 2020, but Zarco’s painful experience proves that nothing is ever taken for granted…

Finally, if Zarco were to obtain brilliant results, he could completely dislodge Lorenzo from the official team. Honda needs a more capable rider to support Marquez and aim for the team title (Ducati currently leads the 2019 provisional standings). Business to follow on site: stay connected !

Zarco to fun training
