EXCLUSIVE: Johann Zarco explains why he's swapping Ducati for Honda

A few days on from a weekend in which he was the central figure in MotoGP's rider market for 2024, Johann Zarco speaks exclusively to The Race MotoGP Podcast about his decision to sign for LCR Honda.

The 33-year-old Frenchman has elected to spurn a chance of continuing with MotoGP's most competitive bike in Ducati for a Honda 'project'. He explains why - and how the move came together - in a chat with podcast co-host Simon Patterson.

Speaking at his home in France, Zarco also talks about how his failure at KTM impacted his thinking - and why he believes he will be more incorporated in the Honda RC213V's development than disillusioned predecessor Alex Rins was.

He pontificates on having Marc Marquez as a Honda stablemate and candidly discusses the prospect of fighting for a factory Repsol Honda ride in the future.

And he offers a detailed view of his mindset when it comes his pursuit of that ever-elusive first premier-class win.
