Johann Zarco has chosen to step back from the full package of new Honda MotoGP parts.
Johann Zarco opted to step back from using the latest Honda MotoGP parts at Phillip Island in an attempt to regain confidence with the RC213V. Despite having limited success in recent races, Zarco is just eight points ahead of Luca Marini in the championship standings. While Marini and his HRC team-mate Joan Mir have seen improvements with the new updates, Zarco expressed struggles in adapting to the new bike setup. Due to this, Zarco decided to focus on regaining confidence with his current setup before reintroducing the new parts. Despite a crash at Turn 1 during the Australian MotoGP, Zarco remains determined to reset and improve ahead of the upcoming race in Malaysia. The Malaysian MotoGP event is set to commence on Friday morning.
