At a time when Ducati is dominating MotoGP and Honda is often struggling to even score points, Johann Zarco is walking away from a top-spec Ducati to join Honda’s satellite team for 2024.

Why?

Simon Patterson found out in an extremely candid exclusive interview with Zarco for a special episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast – conducted while Zarco was mid-massage at home between races!

Even though he’ll still be a Ducati-contracted rider until the end of the season, Zarco didn’t shy away from discussing his motivation for (re)joining Honda, how Ducati lost him, and how he views his prospects at Honda compared to how the rider he’s replacing – Alex Rins – got on.
