Fresh from his memorable victory at the Bugatti circuit in 2025, Johann Zarco returns to Le Mans with the ambition of repeating the feat. For the 2026 French Grand Prix, the French rider will certainly stand out, sporting an exclusive outfit.

For the occasion, Johann Zarco will debut a brand-new Furygan leathers. This version revisits Castrol's iconic green, red, and white colors, injecting touches of blue as a tribute to his national flag. This unique design will only be worn during this weekend at Le Mans, from May 8th to 10th.

Armed with a special suit and a helmet decorated for the occasion, Johann Zarco will therefore aim to triumph once again on home soil, the most recent race of MotoGP contested in Jerez, fueling hopes of a second victory at Le Mans.

Because on the Andalusian circuit, number 5 delivered a superb performance in qualifying. He nevertheless missed out on dethroning Marc Márquez by a tenth of a second, due to a mistake in the final corner. This error doesn't diminish his brilliance or the battle he waged against number 93. Nor does it diminish the fight he put up on the track to secure seventh place in Sunday's race. And all this in dry conditions!

With expectations, and the pressure, high, Johann Zarco arrives at Le Mans as the winner of the previous edition. It remains to be seen whether success, aided by the capricious weather he so enjoys, will be repeated. And the first signs of changeable skies seem to favor him.
