Podcast: Predicting the next MotoGP rider moves
While MotoGP gears up for the 2022 seasons, riders and teams will already be talking about contracts for 2023
As The Race MotoGP Podcast reconvenes for the first time in 2022, the show actually looks a year forward – in line with the series’ tendency to finalise contracts a year in advance.
Host Matt Beer – filling in for Toby Moody, away on Dakar Rally duties – is joined by Simon Patterson and Valentin Khorounzhiy to discuss the biggest question marks of the impending 2023 rider market.
With only riders signed through ’23, the trio discuss ponder whether the series’ two latest champions Joan Mir and Fabio Quartararo could really be on the move – with both having made it clear that they will be listening to offers.
They also consider the futures of the likes of Suzuki’s Alex Rins, KTM’s Miguel Oliveira and Ducati’s Jack Miller – as well as looking into potential reshuffles in the satellite rosters.
At the end of the show, they finalise their rough mock-up of the 2023 grid.
