I think they need someone like a Gardner, Lecuona, someone young who can bring a fight, a change, a bit 'different'

This article has a list at the bottom, the amount to yet to be confirmed riders is quite large.

Only prompted by seeing Rinaldi's farewell to the Ducati team on Friendface.

Surprised to see so many free.

Hope Reading gets a decent ride for next year.

They need to improve the 10R.

Did JR run out of patience waiting for them to do that?

Are Kawasaki not putting time and money into the bike because they are pulling out of racing altogether?

Did Yamaha offer a huge pay packet?

I'd love to see the whole picture.
