While Johann Zarco recently spoke of his desire to continue the Honda adventure in MotoGP, beyond the end of the contract with the LCR team, the boss of the Satellite Team is very complimentary towards the tricolor. Indeed, Lucio Cecchinello was recently interviewed by our colleagues at Motorsport, in Germany. And on this occasion, the Italian was not stingy with compliments towards number 5.
MotoGP: Lucio compares Johann to an artist
“For me, Johann is like an artist, because he puts a lot of effort into his work. It’s remarkable and very nice to see how much he likes to concentrate on his work. He likes to be surrounded by professionals. In the same way that he talks with the staff, he also seeks to work on improving himself and not constantly complaining just about the bike.” testifies the boss of LCR in MotoGP.
“Clearly. This is naturally a personal process of maturity. I can say that he has worked a lot on himself. He now has a broader vision of his career. He always tries to do better, and he also tries to express himself better. It’s very nice to see how he works and interacts with the mechanics. Because he tries to solve problems by testing different things with the bike. That’s why, for me, he’s a bit like an artist. I have worked with many professional drivers and he is one of the greatest professionals I have ever met because he is very focused on what he does.”[…]
Words which are not surprising but which confirm what we observe from the outside. Namely, that Johann Zarco brings a lot to his team, to Honda too, through his positive attitude and his desire to do his best. It now remains to be defined whether or not the satellite team will continue its adventure with the Japanese manufacturer. Since, for the record, Cecchinello told us in a recent interview that other manufacturers had approached his team.
Also, at a time when rumors are intensifying regarding a divorce between Pramac and Ducati, LCR could have a great opportunity. However, during this interview, the person also told us that he favored the Honda track. What will happen when it comes time to choose? Answer in the coming weeks…
