Johann Zarco has confirmed that he considered a quick switch to Repsol Honda, but they failed to convince him.
The winner of the Australian MotoGP, who achieved his first premier class victory after 120 attempts, has already signed a contract to switch from Pramac Ducati to LCR Honda next season. With Marc Marquez leaving Repsol Honda, Zarco was approached about potentially taking his place. However, Zarco chose to respect his commitment to LCR and declined the offer to join the factory team. He valued the trust and seriousness of LCR owner Lucio Cecchinello and believed that their partnership would be a great opportunity. Repsol Honda is also considering Maverick Vinales and Miguel Oliveira as possible replacements for Marquez.
