The transfer market will accelerate now that World Champion Fabio Quartararo has confirmed his interest in Yamaha until 2024. At Honda, signs show that decisions are taking shape, Joan Mir no longer dares to talk about the RC213V , at KTM, we would put the youth card on the back burner to rehire available cutters... But since Aleix Espargaro shines brightly, it is especially the next two Aprilia satellites which will be lined up by RNF which are very coveted.

The list of candidates for RNF is long. There are probably drivers like Oliveira, Rins et Darryn Binder under discussion, perhaps Alex Marquez et Nakagami if they are no longer the priorities of LCR with the rise in power of Celestine Vietti et Ai Ogura. Pol Espargaro should no longer be considered a junior at Aprilia at 31, but Raúl Fernández ou Remy gardner could be options. The Moto2 rider Drive is also attracting interest, as sponsor WithU and Aprilia veulent un Italien dans l’équipe. “We are not in a hurry", highlighted Razali.
