The 2020 MotoGP™ season is fast approaching. 2019 is flying by and as we enter the final stages of this season, how is the grid for next season shaping up? There are still a couple of seats to be confirmed, with Takaaki Nakagami (LCR Honda Idemitsu) yet to be announced by HRC and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing yet to confirm Johann Zarco’s replacement. This puts Miguel Oliveira’s whereabouts – either Red Bull KTM Tech 3 or Zarco’s vacant seat – in question despite already being confirmed to stay with KTM's satellite team in 2020, with the Portuguese star enjoying a very impressive rookie campaign on the RC16.
So, here’s how the 2020 MotoGP™ grid currently looks:
Repsol Honda Team:
- Marc Marquez
- Jorge Lorenzo
Ducati Team:
- Andrea Dovizioso
- Danilo Petrucci
Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP:
- Maverick Viñales
- Valentino Rossi
Team Suzuki Ecstar:
- Joan Mir
- Alex Rins
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing:
- Pol Espargaro
- TBC
Aprilia Racing Team Gresini:
- Andrea Iannone
- Aleix Espargaro
Petronas Yamaha SRT:
- Fabio Quartararo
- Franco Morbidelli
Pramac Racing:
- Jack Miller
- Francesco Bagnaia
LCR Honda:
- Cal Crutchlow
- TBC
Red Bull KTM Tech 3:
- Brad Binder
- Miguel Oliveira*
Reale Avinita Racing:
- Karel Abraham
- Tito Rabat
LCR Honda's second seat and the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing/Tech 3 seats should be confirmed in the not too distant future, so keep your eyes peeled for the remaining 2020 MotoGP™ rider confirmations.
*Potential move to Red Bull KTM Factory Racing.
