The 2021 MotoGP World Championship grid is almost complete after Ducati Corse confirmed its factory and Pramac Racing rider line-ups following weeks of speculation.Check out the MotoGP YouTube channel – CLICK HEREComing days after Valentino Rossi’s immediate future was assured with a move to the Petronas SRT Yamaha team next season, Ducati has followed suit by confirming Pecco Bagnaia will join Jack Miller in stepping up from Pramac to the factory outfit.His promotion following a strong start to the 2020 MotoGP season – despite an injury that ruled him out for three races – allows Johann Zarco to take his place at Pramac Racing, where he will be joined by rookie Jorge Martin.The only rides left to be officially confirmed for 2021 are the second Aprilia seat alongside Aleix Espargaro – which will depend largely on the outcome of Andrea Iannone’s CAS appeal against his 18-month doping ban – the second LCR Honda seat (Nakagami is 99% certain to stay) plus Zarco’s vacant Avintia Racing ride, which will go to Enea Bastianini.However, while Rabat has an Avintia contract in place, he is currently struggling to match Zarco and it’s possible that another Moto2 star, Luca Marini, could get the ride instead.cnxps.cmd.push(function () { cnxps({ playerId: “004d570a-7977-45f7-bc0c-a349bf945b15” }).render(“5a36b5247b9f4bf5b8815714b45226d6Two race winners currently without a place are Andrea Dovizioso and Cal Crutchlow. Dovizioso has announced that he will leave Ducati, while Crutchlow has been replaced by Alex Marquez.
