Honda MotoGP development not being focused on Marquez helping everyone – Zarco
Johann Zarco, who is now riding for the LCR Honda team, believes that Honda’s MotoGP programme needs a new approach to compete with European marques effectively. He emphasizes the importance of teamwork among all four Honda riders to improve the RC213V’s performance. Zarco acknowledges that although he may outperform factory Honda riders, the focus should not solely be on him for development. The absence of a single dominant leader in the factory team presents an opportunity for collaboration and shared responsibility for bike development. Zarco’s 12th place finish at the Qatar Grand Prix highlights the progress Honda has made, with potential for further improvement using data from races to address bike weaknesses.
