We know Rea & Kawi are staying together. Is Alex keeping his seat?

Stoprak Razzledazzle and Yami have another year together.

Has Locatelli re-signed? I can't imagine Yamaha lets him go, but he could get poached by Ducati who is looking for someone to take the torch from Bautista. I've heard they'd prefer Italian. Axel Bassani would be a good fit there too.

I hope GG keeps his seat but I have a sinking feeling he doesn't. I'll be pissed at Yamaha if Nozane keeps his seat but GG doesn't.

Who will be at BMW alongside SR45?

VDM, Locatelli, and Lowes are re-signed for next year. That leaves 1 spot at HRC & Ducati, and 2 at GRT Yam. Satellite Duc squad is unknown.
 
I read that too. I had the thought last round when one of the announcers mentioned multiple teams being interested. A quick perusal of standings shows BMW has some potential holes. Now Laverty is retiring.
 
If GG makes the switch, I hope it ends up being a step up for him!

No idea if it's won in BSB. Only 2 podiums in WSBK with Redding on board.

He stays put. Teammates with Aegerter (most likely) unless Balda beats him to the championship and throws uncertainty back into the situation. Nozano out unless some major development at Suzuka.

Part of me likes the thought of GG staying on the YZF, its a good bike, but I have reservations that he can make the mental leap to get back to racing while staying there.
 
Given recent performances by Redding, I’d say that may be a good option. The only potentially available factory bikes would be Yamaha, Honda, and BMW. The Bimmer may be the best choice for GG.

Bimmer is a car. Beemer is a bike. ;)

It’s a factory ride (sorta) but the BMW hasn’t proved itself on a national series much less on the world stage.

it seems to be a non factor except to make a few bucks.
