Provisional 2022 MotoGP entry list, Aramco absent from VR46

The provisional entry list for the 2022 ꧃MotoGP World Championship has been released.
While the identity of all♒ 24 riders, teams and bikes was already known, the list is notable for the⛦ absence of Aramco as title sponsor of the new VR46 Ducati team, underlining rumours that the previously announced deal may not materialise.

"As you know we made the agreement with Aramco and things are going very slow," 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:team manager Pablo Nꦫieto said recently. "There are some dela🃏ys, but we are 🧸on the way and have to keep working."
VR46 are not the only independent team missing a𝔍 previously announced title sponsor, with Flex-Box having been due to ba🌄ck the new Gresini Ducati project but not currently present.
Otherwise, the list confirms that new worl꧂d champion Fabio Quartararo will keep the #20, plus the chosen race numbers for the rookies: Remy Gardner (87), Raul Fernandez (25), Fabio di Giannantonio (49), Marco Bezzecchi (72) and Darryn Binder (40).
