With Joan Mir, Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernan♔dez becoming the latest riders to secure big moves to other teams, the list of remaining seats availa𝓡ble has been cut down to jus🍎t four. 

Two of those are expec𓂃ted to remain unchanged as Luca Marini and💜 Marco Bezzecchi look set to remain at Mooney VR46 Ducati. 

The other two seats involve the second GASGAS Tech 3 KTM ride as Remy Gardner and Augusto Fernandez are in conteꦕntion, while the same goes for Takaaki Nakag🔯ami and Ai Ogura at LCR Honda. 

Enea Bastianini to Lenovo Ducati - 9

One of the most highly-anticipated decis♛ions of the 2022 MotoGP season was who woulꦡd partner Francesco Bagnaia at the factory team next season.

Bastianini, winner of three races already this year, had res🥃ults on his side which ultimately proved too much for Jorge Martin to overcome. 

• Marc Marque🍌z confirms split from manager Emilio Alꦬzamora 
• Poncharal: Raul Fernandez an ‘exceptional rider, bright f𓄧uture’ 
• Andrea Dovizioso se🐭t for ‘strange’ final MotoGP rac🐭e at Misano

Bastianini, who has been achieving said results on last year’s GP21 machine, w💮on’t necessarily be expected to g♎et the better of Bagnaia, but 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 shꦓow the level of performance we’ve seen in recent years. 

Joan Mir to Repsol Honda - 9

While Mir i🥂s currently sidelined after suffering bone and ligament fractures in his right foot following a crash at the Red Bull Ring, t💙here’s no denying that the Spaniard was in great form earlier this season. 

Given Honda are 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 next 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 an🔯other factor that has plagued Honda of late. 

The 2020 world champion could be exactly t🌼he rider Honda needs as it looks to build itself back 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 announced that Suzuki would leave MotoGP at the end of this season, rumours surrounding the future of🐼 Rins began to heat up. 

Both 🔴he and Mir appeared destined to switch to Honda early on, although there was lessܫ certainty regarding Rins.

Aprilia also seemed to ꦐbe an option before Rins committed his future to LCR Honda on a two-year deal. ไ;

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

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

Whether it was Silverstone when Rins went 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 Ap🦩rilia 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

𝐆With countless storylines to follow next season, Miller’s move to KTM is one tha🌺t could fly under the radar. 

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

KTM, although inconsistently, have sho🥂wn 🅺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 giv𝓰en the South African’s performances ever since moving up to MotoGP, but Miller should help the Austrian brand make 𒅌strides 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 froꦚm Miguel Oliveira.

Pol Espargaro to GASGAS Tech 3 Factory Racing - 7

If there was ever a time and team that Espargaro neede💞d then it’s now and with KTM.&nbs🐭p;

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 of 2020, Espargaro was beginning to produce t෴op five finishes with regularity. 

Althou🌱gh a win never came his way, the Spaniard showed that he was🦂 more than ca[able of doing so.
