Ducati decisions
Francesco Bagnaia penned a new deal with the factory Ducati team ahead of the 2024 season.
Rising star Marco Bezzecchi turned down a potential switch to Pramac and GP24 machinery to stay at VR46 Ducati, on a GP23. That in turn opened the door for Franco Morbidelli to join Pramac.
But the biggest change in the Ducati line-up is the arrival of eight-time world champion Marc Marquez, who will join younger brother Alex on year-old Desmosedicis at the Gresini Ducati team.
Qatar winner Fabio di Giannantonio swaps from Gresini to VR46.
Honda turmoil
Marc Marquez quit Honda at the end of 2023, ending their 11-year association.
Luca Marini takes his place and is one of few riders to have a public contract beyond the end of 2024.
Yamaha signs Rins
Ex-Suzuki rider Alex Rins, who only joined Honda a year ago, left LCR for a factory seat at Yamaha alongside former world champion Fabio Quartararo. Despite little to show, results-wise, from the opening rounds of 2024, Yamaha succeeded in signing a new two-year deal with Quartararo.
KTM solve conundrum
At one stage, KTM had five riders but only four seats. A problem that was eventually solved when Pol Espargaro stepped back from racing to test and wild-card duties in 2024.
Jack Miller and Brad Binder will continue as the unchanged factory KTM duo. Pedro Acosta will graduate from Moto2 into MotoGP with the Tech3 GASGAS team alongside Augusto Fernandez.
MotoGP's newest team
RNF's grid places have been taken over by Trackhouse Racing, which becomes the newest MotoGP team. Their NASCAR background and US-base will add a new dimension to the grid.
Trackhouse is retaining Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez as riders, but with Aprilia upping its support to 2024 factory bikes for Oliveira. Fernandez starts on the 2023 RS-GP but should be upgraded with '24 parts during the year.
Aprilia's factory team will continue to field multi RS-GP race winner Aleix Espargaro alongside former Yamaha and Suzuki race winner Maverick Vinales.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
