Revolution on the MotoGP grid

The MotoGP season is now over, and the riders have already started preparing for the next season. 2021 is loaded with new features on the premier class grid, with many changes and some new faces coming up from Moto2 such as the Spanish Jorge Martín or the intermediate class champion, Enea Bastianini. In total there have been 14 confirmed movements, It only remains to be resolved who will replace Andrea Ianonne in Aprillia. The Italian has been sanctioned with four years for doping, so he will not be able to race next season. Until now Bradley Smith had replaced him, except in the last three races where Lorenzo Savadori was chosen. Savadori is the in-house tester and, for now, has been entered on the provisional list of MotoGP riders for 2021. Aprillia has not yet resolved that question, as Crutchlow and Bezzecchi, two of the candidates, have rejected the offer. In the case of the first, it is because he has accepted an offer from Yamaha to be a test rider, while the second is prevented by his team, the VR46, so he will not be able to make the leap to MotoGP. The other option is Andrea Dovizioso, who will not remain at Ducati after his bad season. However, the Italian has not yet answered, the rest of the teams have already confirmed their drivers, only Suzuki will keep its 2020 duo, the one formed by Rins and Mir. At Honda, Pol Espargaró will be Marc Márquez’s teammate and Álex Márquez will go to the LCR with Nakagami. Ducati will swap its two riders, Danilo Petrucci (will race on the Tech 3 KTM) and Dovi for Jack Miller and Pecco Bagnaia. At Yamaha there will be a change of stickers, Valentino Rossi to Petronas with Morbidelli and Quartararo goes to the official bike with Maverick Viñales.Jorge Martín to Pramac with Zarco The departure of Polyccio from KTM will leave a vacancy for Miguel Oliveira, who rises from Tech 3 and will be Brad Binder’s partner. In the Tech 3 KTM, Danilo Petrucci will partner with Iker Lecuona. Pramac Racing (Ducati) will also have new faces after the jumps of Miller and Bagnaia to the official bike. Those chosen to replace them have been Johann Zarco (previously at Esponsorama Racing) and Jorge Martín. Lastly, Esponsorama Racing (Ducati) will cover Zarco’s departure with Moto2 champion Enea Bastianini, while the vacancy of Tito Rabat, who does not It will continue despite the fact that he had a contract for 2021, it will be for Luca Marini, who also rises from the intermediate category.
