Honda insist that the first move came from Johann Zarco, for their potential link-up next season.
“But I can give you my personal opinion, Johann is a fast rider with a lot of experience.
“He rode with many teams. He is always a welcome rider. But I can’t give you a real statement at this moment because we don’t even talk." Zarco said during the British MotoGP:"It’s good to have the interest of Honda. Clearly it’s nice to have this kind of brand interested, even if they’re struggling. We have to think about this.”LCR have a seat to fill next season because Rins is quitting, after just one year, to join Yamaha next year.
The two LCR bikes - Takaaki Nakagami’s and Iker Lecuona’s - were the last two to finish the British MotoGP at the weekend, underlining the challenge that may await Zarco if he arrives next year.
