The obvious pꦯlace to start is with Ducati and their satellite teams as Paolo Ciabatti and Jorge Martin both suggested that he will stay at Pramac for next season.

This seems to also be true for Johann Zarco, who following an impre🎃ssive start to the 2023 season looks set for a fourth consecuti♕ve season with the team. It was briefly suggested he might lose his seat and be moved to WorldSBK.

Marco Bezzecchi has made it clear that he wants a factory Ducati seat if he’s to move on from Mooney VR46 Ducati, and despite rumours linking him to Pramac, especially if Martin was to depart, the Italian seems set to st🌺ay put before challenging for a factory seat in 2025.&ꩵnbsp;

Where Ducati could 𒉰change their line-up is at Gresini, as Fabio Di Giannantonio’s days appear to be numbered.

Tony Arbolino is one of the leading contenders for that seat, with Ducati confirming they have an interest in the Italian, however, GPOne.com are reporting that Franco Morbidelli cou🐽ld be an optionౠ if he leaves Yamaha.

Morbidelli’s🅘 future continues to b🤪e a hot topic. Recent rumours have suggested that Alex Rins could be looking for a way out of Honda in order to replace Morbidelli alongside Fabio Quartararo at Yamaha. 

If Rins were to leave Honda, it could mean LCR h𒁃as a brand new line-up as Takaaki Nakagami’s future also remains⭕ unclear.

Back to his best in Asse🌠n, Moto2 rider Ai Ogura seems to have put his injury woes behind him and could be back in Honda’s plans going forward.

Rins is not the only Honda ridꦏer who has been linked with trying to force a way out from the Japanese manufacturer, as Marc Marquez has seemingly reached𓃲 breaking point with Honda.

However, rumours of him offering himself to KTM were squashed by the eight-time world champion, who is contracted to Honda until the en🐷d of next year. 

Where there could be 🌜further changes to the current grid is with KTM. The Austrian manufacturer is set with their factory pairing of Brad Binder and Jack Miller, but thꦉe not-so-small matter of promoting Pedro Acosta is on KTM’s radar.

Despite a very solid beginning to his MotoGP career, Augusto Fernandez could be the odd man out as KTM remain desperate to keep Acosta, who haꦉs completely ruled out the possibility of staying in Moto2.
