A Yamaha factory seat free for 2024
The only factory MotoGP team known to have a seat potentially free for the 2024 season is Monster Yamaha, which signed Franco Morbidelli until the end of 2023 when he took over the M1 ride vacated by Maverick Vinales midway through 2021.
Among the other rumoured candidates are Yamaha's World Superbike champion Toprak Razgatlioglu, who briefly tested the MotoGP bike in 2022, and Pramac Ducati's Jorge Martin, who lost out on a factory Desmosedici seat to Enea Bastianini.
New Yamaha satellite team?
Reduced to just a factory squad for 2023, after RNF switched to Aprilia, Yamaha is plotting a new satellite partnership for 2024 or 2025.
Valentino Rossi's long association with Yamaha means his VR46 team, currently running year-old Ducatis, is high on the list of potential candidates. But while VR46 is contracted to Ducati until the end of 2024, Gresini - which also has access to year-old Desmosedicis at present - would be free to switch at the end of 2023.
