Johann Zarco says winning his first grand prix last weekend in Australia will make his switch from Ducati to Honda for the 2024 MotoGP season “even easier”.
After 120 grand prix starts, 33-year-old Zarco finally scored his maiden MotoGP victory in a thrilling Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island last Saturday. The Frenchman had not won a race since the 2016 Valencia Moto2 finale, following his second title success in the class.
He returned to being a semi-regular podium contender upon his switch to Ducati machinery from 2020, scoring 13 rostrums before finally breaching the top step.
