The double Moto2™ World Champion deserves credit for ditching a comfortable option at Ducati for a seat at LCR Honda , after twice finishing fifth overall in the past three years . His initial impression of the RC213V was positive , with Zarco stating his riding style is more in tune with his new bike . Yet getting up to speed over race distance will require some patience . At least , Zarco appears much better equipped to deal with developing a slower bike than his shortlived time at KTM in 2019 . Should only get better as the year goes on .
