JohannZarco

Johann Zarco's Grand Prix story began away from MotoGP, with Ajo Motorsport, Tech3 Racing, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing and Avintia Racing all part of the French rider's route before Team LCR became his long-term home. The breakthrough arrived in the premier class, where he has taken two wins and stood on the podium 23 times, results that mark him as a consistent front-runner even without a title. He now races for Castrol Honda LCR, carrying the number 5 on the bike, and remains part of the MotoGP grid. That mix of longevity and race-winning speed keeps him relevant as the championship moves through its latest season. For followers of the series, Zarco is a familiar French presence with a distinctive team identity and enough pace to trouble the established order.
