So who will take the extra 2 Aprilias then?
Looks like it will be either Team Rossi, or, if they manage to take the Yams away from Razali, it might be Petronas Aprilias?
I thought I read that Suzuki had ruled out extra bikes in 22, but now I can't find confirmation...

Be funny is Rossi's business moves have only left him with an Aprilia.

Trackday rider Valentino Rossi has now been officially sacked off for 2022. If he's still riding it won't be a SRT bike.
"We (SRT) refused to wait too long about Rossi's decision whether or not he wanted to continue racing next season.
"Through discussions with management, we unanimously agreed not to pursue a contract with Rossi for the 2022 race.
"Therefore, we will be back focusing on our goal of finding the best young racer talents to fill the vacancy," he told Kosmo! Yesterday.

MCN are speculating that Dixon could move to MotoGP next year with Petronas…with Darryn Binder taking Dixon’s M2 seat…

I saw that mentioned in some Spanish rag, but it was dismissed as tosh. I tend to think that dismissal was probably correct. If Petronas won't put McPhee on a Moto2 bike why the fuck would they put Dixon on a MGP?

Dorna, Ducati and co. milking ever last Rossi $$$
In a few years Rossi will probably come out and say he regrets he didn't stop earlier.

Rope in Burges for a 80 second fix (apart from no one could ride the duc excpet Stoner back then and it was VR who got them to go alu twinspar instead og carbon/engine frame thingy). Funny though if he did gell on it, but doubt we will see him racing bikes next year.
