Pramac Racing's Johann Zarco is hoping to secure his best finish of the new season in the
Argentine Grand Prix on Sunday, April 3, citing the Autodromo Termas de Rio Hondo as a track he favours.
The Frenchman is still seeking his maiden MotoGP win, although he secured four podium finishes in 2021 - all in second place - to end the season fifth in the rider's standings.

Zarco kicked off 2022 with P8 in the Qatar Grand Prix and took third place in the Indonesian Grand Prix a fortnight later, finishing 3.158 seconds behind winner Miguel Oliveira.
The 31-year-old revealed after the wet-weather race that the Ducati GP22 isn't performing anywhere near expectations yet, although he is hopeful of finishing on the podium once more in Argentina.

"We are still working on the GP22. We still don't have the full package to have the winning bike yet. So we are working on it," he said.
"Argentina I think can be a good track for us, it's a track I like. For the next races we will see because each race is different.
"You can always get surprises. Here, (Mandalika) I expected to really struggle but I was competitive all weekend, plus the rain on Sunday helped me to be on the podium.
"I'm hoping to get a better control of the bike. As soon as we get this, I will be able to enjoy more and be stronger."
