GP de France de MotoGP, an old knowledge of Zarco in Wildcard Honda!

It is, probably, with pleasure, that Johann Zarco will welcome the return of his ex-Galère companion, at Honda in MotoGP. Indeed, the Japanese brand confirmed that Takaaki Nakagami, thanked at the end of 2024 while working at LCR, will be back on the handlebars of a motorcycle of the Japanese manufacturer, on the occasion of the Grand Prix de France, next weekend.

MotoGP: Takaaki Nakagami will pilot an official Honda

Nothing really surprising since the HRC had enlisted the one nicknamed in the paddock, “Taka”, as a test and development pilot, in the same way as the Espargaro. Also, the interested party will have an official handlebars, something special enough for a Japanese pilot, given the glorious past of this manufacturer, in MotoGP. In terms of results, last year, Takaaki Nakagami ranked fourteenth from the Grand-Prix de France de MotoGP, therefore entering the points.

Obviously, this season, the Japanese will probably not target the points even if the Honda that he will pilot will be much more efficient than this known, on this Le Mans circuit last season. Note that the interested party should make other Wild-Card in 2025. And in particular, during the Grand-Prix of Japan, at Motegi.
