Johann Zarco: “I thought he would fly around killing the competition and instead Pecco showed that he is still the rider who handles the Ducati best.”
Marquez remains in the thick of the title fight behind Jorge Martin and Francesco Bagnaia , both of whom are riding the GP24 bike compared to Marquez who is aboard last year’s title-winning GP23.
Marquez, who took a little bit of time to fully adapt to the Ducati, has been brilliant for much of this season., Zarco said: “In truth I expected him to be even stronger, then I realised he needed time to adapt. “I thought he would fly around killing the competition and instead Pecco showed that he is still the rider who handles the Ducati best.
“He does it with a very clean and precise style. Seeing that Marc has this need to adapt gives me confidence, because when I say I have to adapt to something I see that even the strongest has to it, even if he does it faster than me.Zarco, who left Ducati to join Honda in a bid to extend his career in MotoGP, has seen first hand how good the Desmosedici is compared to the struggling Honda.
Asked if he has considered leaving for WorldSBK, Zarco said: “No, I have a lot of fun in MotoGP. The level is so high in MotoGP and it fills me with excitement to continue to grow as a rider.
