Johann Zarco accepted Honda’s challenge after being a fierce competitor on a Ducati Desmosedici for the previous four years, but he is finding it difficult to get the most competitive performance out of the RC213V. In addition to emphasizing the need for “patience,” Lucio Cecchinello said that one “should be proud” of giving it their all.
The rider has already received accolades from the LCR Honda Team Boss, who told Motorsport that he is among the best riders he has ever worked with. However, considering the French that was being spoken, Cecchiello begged the rider to remain composed, saying, “We are frustrated.” However, up until now, he has always had an optimistic outlook because he is aware that Honda is supporting him and is totally dedicated to making the bike better. He is aware that patience is required.
Since it is well known that the current situation is far from ideal, the management can only implore the riders to give it their all without holding back out of a lack of competitive spirit:”I don’t care where we are,” I tell him. The most important thing to me is that you should always feel proud of your riding when you enter the box. Although we are unable to supply you a competitive bike, you should feel proud of yourself and know that we will also be proud of you if you believe you have given it your all.
Zarco signed a two-year contract with Honda last season, therefore he is one of the riders that will be protected by the company until 2025.
