2024 Honda MotoGP bike changes working "quite well", says Zarco
After testing the Honda RC213V in Valencia last year, Johann Zarco had another opportunity to test the bike during the official shakedown test in Malaysia. Much to everyone’s surprise, Zarco ended the test with the third-fastest time overall, just 0.2s off the pace set by Tech3 newcomer Pedro Acosta. Zarco believes that Honda has made significant improvements with its 2024 prototype, which was evident during the test in Sepang. Despite initial skepticism, Zarco feels fortunate to have joined Honda’s satellite LCR team at a time when the manufacturer is taking a different approach in MotoGP. He is impressed with the new changes and has high hopes for the new project.
