On Tuesday 19th May, Johann Zarco visited doctor Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet in Lyon, a world-renowned consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Centre Orthopédique Santyin Lyon, France, specializing in the management of knee ligament injuries and sports trauma, to further assess his physical condition.

Following a thorough examination, it is estimated that he will need to wait a couple of weeks before undergoing surgery for the damage to his ligaments, allowing the initial trauma and other injuries to his knee some time to heal before the procedure.

Following the surgery, a detailed recovery plan will be established, allowing the medical team to evaluate a possible timeline for his return.

The whole Castrol Honda LCR team is in close contact with Johann Zarco and will continue to provide updates as the date gets closer.
