JAKARTA - One seat on the Lenovo Ducati will be vacant. Jack Miller's contract at the Italian factory team will expire at the end of the 2022 MotoGP season.

A number of potential candidates came to the fore. Starting from Jorge Martin, Enea Bastianini to Luca Marino on the list.

Johann Zarco's name was tucked in it. However, the French racer was more realistic in responding to these rumors.

He said it was difficult to get a seat on the factory Ducati team. Because, there are several factors that must be met.

"Only if I win the title, but I think the place will belong to someone younger, who has already won," said Zarco as reported by Motosan.

In MotoGP 2022, Zarco's appearance is actually not so special. Of the four races he has played, he has only been on the podium once, namely when he finished third in the Mandalika MotoGP race.

The rest, no better than eighth position. Even in the Argentine MotoGP, he failed to finish.

With this achievement, it is difficult for Zarco to be able to get a seat in the Ducati first team. Instead, the former Yamaha Tech 3 racer seems to prefer to stay at Pramac next season. However, until now, there has been no sign from the team to offer a new contract.

"If I can renew my contract with them, I will be very happy," said Zarco.
