MotoGP’s next shake-up of teams for 2022 is the subject of the latest episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast.
The contract renewal process will almost certainly result in a shuffle of the satellite teams, with MotoGP’s ambition to be for all six factories to have four bikes on the grid. If that happens, who gets the Suzuki and Aprilia deals, and what happens to Ducati’s third team? And is Valentino Rossi’s VR46 outfit waiting in the wings to pick up a slot?
Toby Moody and Simon Patterson also talk about why a global recession shouldn’t hit MotoGP as hard as the last financial crash did, and how the championship bounced back from having races less than a decade ago where it looked like it was scrambling to fill the grid.
There’s also a look to how next year’s calendar may come together if there’s more worldwide disruption and a run-through of who pays for what to give a better idea of how this year’s schedule came together in the most challenging of times.
