Having delivered Honda’s best results of the post-Marc Marquez era with fourth in the Sprint and sixth in the Grand Prix at Termas, plus a front row in qualifying, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco now heads to the scene of the RCV’s last MotoGP victory.

That came at the hands of LCR predecessor 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins, at COTA in 2023.

Zarco’s own Texas record is more mod▨est, with his a best premier-class finish of fifth place in 2017.

But “if we have another positive weekend in COTA, it will be a good sign for Honda,” Zarc꧅o said of this weekend.

“Cleꦆarly, the confidence is increasing, and improving a lot for us. So let's see how Austin is going to be. I would love to perform there.”

Zarco’s Argentine heroics saw him spend much of the race chasing the factory Ducati of double world champion Francesco Bagnaia, before falling victim to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio di 🦂Giannantonio on🦩 the final lap.

“I was feeling good,” Zarco recalled. “I knew that I could have very good corner speed compared to [Pecco]. But he was holding the line an🐼d then braking well in Turn 9.

“I'm not alone when I'm racin꧟g, which is good,” Zarco smiled.

A concern for Honda ahead of this weekend will be the RCV's top speed weakness, given ♔the long 1.2km COTA back straight.

The Frenchman starts round three holding fifth in the world championship, with Honda currently second 🙈in the constructors’ standings.
