5. Andrea Dovizioso
Dovizioso is still unemployed, aka does not have a team he has defended since parting with Ducati at the end of MotoGP 2020. With a lot of experience and being the only star racer who does not have clarity in MotoGP 2022, it is clear that Dovizioso can be glimpsed by Yamaha to join the team. Petronas Yamaha SRT.
The problem is, Dovizioso is now actually close to Aprilia. Many people say that it is most likely that Dovizioso is defending the team which has recently carried out this test with the RS-GP motorcycle.
4. Pedro Acosta
