No chance of those two coming back. Best you’ll get is a rumoured BMW entry or KTM resurrecting the MV Augusta racing brand.
KTM "could easily field another 2 bikes (4 with 2 spares) as they already asked Dorna for the 2 slots and badge them an MV's.I think BMW may well join now, they have Guintoli and Smith both ex-GP riders as their test riders and I do wonder of part of Toprak's move was the dangle of the carrot to get to GP?
New regs will be the best time for anyone else to join, more of a level playing field at least.

Suzuki and Kawasaki might have come back if new rules were for hybrids. Suzuki said when they left they had no interest in a pure ICE development and Kawasaki already have a hybrid
Suzuki had the plug pulled by Toyota….They didn’t want to stop.

Aleix Aspagarus giving a press conference today, retirement I reckon... silly season is about to get interesting
Hope so. Cannot stand the emotional whinger. I am still a bit gutted that Fabio extended with Yamaha, so it'll be interesting to see what waves this causes.
Who we thinking??
I think Bastianini will jump there first before he's demoted, also to put one over Martin who's been sniffing the Aprilia seat for months and if Gigi does go with Marquez, Martin loses any factory ride he's after. Leaving just the Repsol Honda seat that Mir has hinted he wants to be highsided from rather badly.

I just don't think Bastianini is the man they needThey've done the business with the bike, they still make mistakes as a team at times but the fundamental issue they have is they lack a prolific winner of races and championships
