With the announcements from Ducati, Honda and Aprilia in recent days, we can now draw up the almost final MotoGP grid for the next two years. In these numbers, KTM still has one last responsibility to assume: either manage the career of a rider in its sector who was a Moto2 World Champion under its colors in 2021. Or destroy it by refusing him the only opportunity that gives him remains: the handlebars of the second GASGAS in a Tech3 team where he is playing this season as a rookie, yet with good appreciation from his local boss: Hervé Poncharal.
In recent days, the destinations of different MotoGP riders have been made official with a view to 2023/2024. Factory Ducati thus chose Enea Bastianini rather than Jorge Martin, Pol Espargaro will spearhead the project in GasGas Tech3 with an RC16 that he has known since its conception, while Joan mir will be alongside Marc Marquez in the Repsol Honda box. Last but not least, Aprilia did his shopping to embellish his new RNF satellite team with a Razlan Razali who will not mourn their Yamahas.
MotoGP 2023: everyone will have escaped, except Remy Gardner and Darryn Binder
Miguel Oliveira et Raul Fernandez are the last two names announced in this transfer market which could be considered closed. Except that if KTM starred in the in the choices ofAprilia which brings back two pilots from its sector, including the one who won the most with the Austrian motorcycle, the brand will be in sight in the epilogue of the subject which will consist of determining who will be the second pilot at Tech3 alongside Pol Espargaro.
From this choice we will remember that in Mattighofen we can give a second chance or execute a career in the public square of a recent World Champion of Moto2 under its brand: Remy gardner. Below, the list of teams for next season, with the GasGas question but also the uncertain outcome of a duel between Japanese at LCR-Honda. The trend would be that Nakagami finally saves his place...
