No, we are not confused. The photo really shows two-time Moto2 world champion, Johann Zarco on his Suzuki GSX-RR. In fact, as you will recall, the newly crowned world champion was allowed to test the prototype from Hamamatsu in Japan after Davide Brivio had optioned the Frenchman.

Then the market took a different direction and the king of backflips signed with Yamaha, so he will be racing alongside Jonas Folger on team Tech 3. The news is that, after the Valencia tests, Hervé Poncharal's new pair will have the chance to continue testing at Sepang on the same dates as the factory Yamaha team with Rossi and Viñales. Paddock-GP broke the story, adding that the duo would have, however, only one day to test, probably because there will only be one M1 for the two of them.

Not a bad season for Zarco: his second Moto2 championship title and no less than two MotoGP bikes tested!
