Johann Zarco finished the Pramac chapter of his MotoGP career, joining LCR Honda with a contract for 2024 and 2025. However, his future could have been very different.
The rider revealed, quoted by the Motorsport.com website, that retirement after 2023 crossed his mind, but he ended up feeling enough energy and freshness to embrace the new challenge:
– I was thinking about maybe stopping at the end of this season, but then I received this opportunity, feeling fresh enough to do two more years. I am very proud of this, of having this new energy to perform this season, achieve podiums, get the win, consistency and then look ahead to the future.
