The Ducati is even more stop-and-go than the Honda, so Lorenzo should theoretically find the Honda to be a little closer to the Yamaha than the Ducati is (though the Honda is still obviously closer to the Ducati than the Yamaha is). | |

Zarco said the other day his goal next year was top 5, I think he is kidding himself. The bike isn’t ready for prime time and probably won’t be until another major rules change makes Yamaha, Honda and Ducati have a pause in development while adjusting.

It's reasonable to think he might go to Ducati for a big paycheck and to show he can take championships on multiple makes, but given their lack of progress thus far, it would just be perverse to to shoot himself in the foot by signing up to ride an inferior bike.

Agreed. I reckon he'd only go to KTM if he won a championship on the Ducati.
