2024 silly season!

For what was supposed to be a quiet silly season it has had quite a few changes but with only one rider going
Group 1;
Rins -> Factory Yamaha
Morbidelli -> Pramac Ducati
Zarco -> LCR Honda
Group 2;
M Marquez -> Gresini Ducati
Digi -> VR46 Ducati
Marini -> Factory Honda
Group 3;
Pol -> KTM testing/wildcard
Acosta -> KTM GasGas
 
MotoGP has published the provisional entry lists for the lower classes.
No big surprises when it comes to the remaining open spots that have been filled. Alcoba goes to VR46 Yamaha team where he should at least be an upgrade over Kohta Nozane.
Fantic have announced Xavi Cardelus as their second rider and had no problem admitting they only hired him because of his money.
The new MSi team will run Boscoscuro bikes. Kind of ironic since they're replacing the "original" Kalex team.
Alex Escrig gets to stay with Forward after performing decently on their ...... bike. His teammate will be Xavi Artigas who initially was announced as one of the riders for the Prüstel GP team from the great city of Hohenstein-Ernstthal.
However it was announced the day before the Valencia race that Prüstel has to withdraw from the championship as CF Moto would stop funding the team, leaving Riccardo Rossi unemployed.
The Moto3 field is therefore down to 26 riders, with some Moto3 lifers like Fenati and Kaito Toba missing out on a ride.
Everything turned out pretty frustrating from a German perspective. We lost the Free-TV telecast, one of our two teams and Lukas Tulovic who will switch to MotoE after a terrible 2023 season.
