After saying he wants to see LCR Honda rider ending on a better position and that development is being made, Lucio Cecchinello addressed some of the difficulties to get things going more smoothly. As for Johann Zarco, there hasn’t been much contact yet, despite knowing the french has a ‘peculiar’ character.
The owner of the Honda satellite team spoke about the recalled some of the difficulties to work on Jerez Tests, due to logistics reasons, but the testing will continue in other places too as he told quoted by Motosan: ‘We were in the United States and all the material should have been transported to Europe, so for logistical reasons we had to give up. But after Le Mans we should go to Mugello and it will be another crucial session, since we will not only focus on the set-up, but also on the new features’.
As for the newest rider of the team, Johann Zarco, Cecchinello hasn’t yet spent much time with him: ‘I have never worked with him, and we have only raced three weekends. For now I have not been able to appreciate the character described by everyone as peculiar’.
But assure that, the last episodes with the rider making headlines on the media were just that, as the rider can be quite ‘reasonable’: ‘Until now he has never lost his patience. He shows his frustration when he fails to set the time he would like, or like as the other day when he was knocked down, even though the matter was magnified by the media. I have observed that when he expresses his disagreement forcefully, after a while he calms down and becomes reasonable. It is pleasant to work with him, he has a lot of experience and comforts us for the future’.
