With Joan Mir, Miguel Oliveira aꦺnd Raul Fernandez becoming the✅ latest riders to secure big moves to other teams, the list of remai🍷ning seats available has been cut down to just four. 

Two of those are expected to remain uncha♉nged as Luca Marini and Marco Bezzecchi look set to remain at Mooney VR46 Ducati. 

The other two seats involve the s𓆏econd GASGAS Tech 3 KTM ride as Remy Garꦡdner and Augusto Fernandez are in contention, while the same goes for Takaaki Nakagami and Ai Ogura at LCR Honda. 

Enea Bastianini to Lenovo Ducati - 9

One of the most highly-anﷺticipated decisions of the 2022 Mot♛oGP season was who would partner Francesco Bagnaia at the factory team next season.

Bastianini, winner of three races already this year, had results on his side whic🌃h ultimately proved too much for Jorge Martin to overcome. 

• Marc Marqu♏ez confirms split from💫 manager Emilio Alzamora 
• Poncharal: Raul Fernandez an ‘exceptional ri💎der, bright future’ 
• Andrea Dovizios♓o set for ‘strange’ final MotoGP race at Misano

Bastianini, who has been acꦕhieving said results on last year’s GP21 machine, won’t necessarily be expected to get the better of Bagnaia, but𒀰 it certainly wouldn’t be a surprise if he did at times next season. 

On identical machinery as his fellow Italian,💟 there’s no reason Bastianini can’t become a title threat in the future especially if Ducati continues to show the level of performance we’ve seen in recent years. 

Joan Mir to Repsol Honda - 9

While Mir is currently sidelined after suffering bone and ligament fractures in hi🦹s right foot following a crash at the Red Bull Ring✃, there’s no denying that the Spaniard was in great form earlier this season. 

Given Honda ar🔯e in the midst of a terrible run, one of its worst in Grand Prix racing history, expecting Mir to challenge for wins is unlikely at the start of nex🐼t season. 

However, the former Suzuki rider has been one of the more consistent riders in ☂MotoGP since 2019 and until this year he’s also proven to be relatively injury-free, which is another factor that has plagued Honda of late🉐. 

The 2020 world champion could be exactly the rider Honda needs as it looks to build itself bac🌸k into a championship contender,🐬 while having Marc Marquez on the other side of the garage is likely to push Mir even further.

Alex Rins to LCR Honda - 8

When it was announ൲ced that Suzuki would leave MotoGP at the end of this season, rumours surrounding the f𒆙uture of Rins began to heat up. 

Both he and Mir appeared destined to swiﷺtch to Honda early on, although there was less certainty regarding Rins.

Aprilia also seemed to be an option before Rins committed his future to LCR Honda on a two-yea𝔍r deal. 

A move that could turn out to be great for both sides, Rins is likely to be🍸 a big f♌orce in helping Honda move back up the pecking order. 

Consistency has at times been an issue for the Spaniard again in 2022, however, the pure performance he’s shown - has secured four top five finishes including two podiums this seꦐason - is the type of pace and results the team has not had since Cal Crutchlow. 

Whether it was Silverstone when Rins w𓄧ent from 10th to first during the opening stages of the race or performances like Argentina and COTA when he was the first non Ducati or Aprilia rider, Rins has shown the ability to regularly find his way towards the front of the field. 

Jack Miller to Red Bull KTM Racing - 8

With countless storylines to follow next season, Miller’s move 🐲to KTM is one that could fly under the radar.♔ 

Leaving Ducati for KTM at this current juncture does not appear to be a great move given the Italian manufacturer arguably has th▨e best bike on the grid. However, switching to the factory KTM team might not be the worst idea.

KTM, altho🌃ugh inconsistently, have show💝n a knack for being able to win races, something Miller can do when at his best.

Being teammates with Brad Binder won’t be easy ﷽given the South African’s performances ever since moving up to MotoGP, but Miller should help the Austrian brand make strides forward after it seemingly regressed over the last two seasons. 

On a run of three♐ podiums from the last four races, Miller will bring much needed consistency to the team🐻 which has been lacking at times from Miguel Oliveira.

Pol Espargaro to GASGAS Tech 3 Factory Racing - 7

If thereܫ was ever a time and team that Espargaro needed then it’s now and with KTM. 

Two 🐽hugely frustrating campaigns with Honda will come to an end after this season as he makes a return to🐬 KTM. 

Prior to leaving KTM at the end o𒀰f 2020, Espargaro was beginning to produce top five finishes with regularity. 

Although a win never came his way♓, the ܫSpaniard showed that he was more than ca[able of doing so.
