Having got his first taste of the Honda RC213V in Valencia last year, Zarco got another opportunity to test the bike during last week's official shakedown test in Malaysia, as he took full advantage of MotoGP’s new concessions system to complete two days of running.
To his own surprise, the Frenchman ended the test with the third-fastest time, lapping just 0.2s off the pace set by Tech3 KTM newcomer Pedro Acosta.
