Johann Zarco has signed for KTM for 2019 and 2020 MotoGP seasons. The news was published on the German website www.speedweek.com by Gunther Wiesinger, experienced journalist close to Red Bull. Zarco will ride for the Factory team and so he will leave Tech 3, team that had already announced a deal with the Austrian manufacturer.
There’s no official confirmation about it, but KTM Factory seems to have already defined its riders for 2019: Johann Zarco will share the box with Pol Espargaró, who’s going to be reconfirmed.
