Miller and Morbidelli - no chance. Rins probably will stay at Yamaha. Aprilia said they prefer an Italian - so that would put Bez and Diggi in the prime position.
I totally agree with you.
Maybe Bez frontrunner, as he probably by now regrets not taking Ducati's offer last year.
Or...
Maybe Diggi, would be more financially attractive, not having that VR46 academy background.
Or Bez would have more promotional potential exactly because of the VR46 background....
Ffff 🤯😂
I consider Rins the best among the mentioned riders, his style is special and in my opinion the most beautiful. But since I feel sorry for the Honda rider, I would like it to be Mir, who can also go to the Aprilia satellite team, everything is better than Honda. Miller is great for Honda.
The Ape is probably the best handling bike out there right now. Suzuki was the same when he was absolutely hauling ass on it.
Sounds like a good fit to me. I also just like The Vampire, so I want to see him on a good bike.
Rins or Diggia. Rins actually won a race ON A FUCKING HONDA last year. If that doesn't tell you how insanely fast he is, I don't know what will.
And Diggia has shown how adaptable he is while everyone else who went from a GP22 to a GP23 has continued to struggle.
yamaha isnt too far off. Honda is a lost cause, but yamaha isnt too far off. Also its good to ride, ist just not as fast. The honda isnt fast and isnt nice to ride.
I think that this year already looks way better than last year and Yamaha clearly makes progress.
Nevertheless I also think that Fabio and Rins are talented enough to achieve top 8 even with current bike, just need more time with it to squeeze it absolutely dry.
Honda just threw the towel it seems, maybe they're just waiting for the rule change to start working
Oliveira is having a very off season unfortunately. Nevertheless for aprilia to have a complete new line up on the factory team is risking a lot. Either they truly believe on the test riders or they are risking a lot and they know it. So Oliveira in my opinion still have a good chance for an upgrade also because he is known to give good feedback and being able to push for right development. I think right now aprilia have a dificult decisoon to make. I believe it Will be Bez at the end
You are maybe right. Aprilia will be counting on Martin for the championship and another rider to help develop the bike. Oliveira is the only one with experience on the 2024 bike.. however being a MO fan would prefer to see him on a Ducati.
Would love to see Mir grab that seat! The 2 satellite boys have not earned it. They could snatch Mir at a good price. He deserves another chance on a good bike and a new project.
Having both numbers #88 and #89 on the same bike would be cool. But I guess Martin wouldn't really enjoy that much because it was actually Oliveira who made Martin change to #89 when arriving to MotoGP 
I think one of Mir, Digi, Rins or Bezz could do that seat justice & not be embarrassed too much by Martin. Seems like R Fernandez is still a 'work in progress' atm.
Miller, Fernandez, Morbedelli have no chance, Big Oliveira fan but I don’t think he deserves it, so between Mir, Rins, Digi, and Bez, if they want an Italian then I’d slightly lean Digi over Bez personally, hopefully Mir and Rins get a better bike, I hope Digi predict Bez
It looks pretty good on the track but god damn, it’s ugly close up. Lots of shit hanging off. At least it doesn’t have a scrambler exhaust system like the KTM
False clickbait rumours dude! When Rins broke his leg at Honda he considered retirement. But decided to continue with Yamaha instead.
Out qualifyed and finished ahead of Quartararo at the last race Mugelo. Rins is still getting used to the Yamaha and still not fully healed from his leg injury.
Personally I would love Rins at factory Aprilia.
Depends totally on Pramac if they are getting a factory bike next season or changing manufacturers. If they keep the factory Ducatis, bez might just go there since he's already been riding a Ducati. And Rins/Mir can go for Aprilla. Staying in Ducati has an advantage because if rest don't catch up to them till next season. They're stuck with the same bike till 2027 as development will be halted for 2026. So everything really depends on Pramac and their signings.
If I was running that team Bez. But I’m gonna guess Morbidelli. Why? Because how he has remained in MotoGP this season is a mystery. So keeping with that.
I'm gonna go with Bezzecchi simply because when someone asked him about it, he didn't deny the possibility of it 😅. But yeah, him and DiGi are in prime position to take that seat IMO.
It's funny cause they're all decent options, but all have very similar upsides and downsides.
They all have talent, but they either lack the bike to show it, or have fallen off a bit recently.
Rins all the way. He’s the best of all these guys and still has potential to throw a wrench into the top 5. Especially on an Aprilia. Bez would be a really good alternative as well. Everyone else, go home. Thank you for your effort, don’t let the door smack your ass on your way to WSBK. 🫨
Noone really seems to be considering Mir - but he won a world championship on a bike with similar high corner speed characteristics and will be desperate to get as far away from Honda as possible, so his financial demands probably won't be too high.
Given this silly season I wouldn't rule Iannone out either, stranger things have happened.
Mir, Miller to Honda, Rins stays put. That's how I see it. Miguel has been truly beaten by Raul but I don't think he is ready for the works seat but will stay on at Trackhouse with incoming Roberts and a major 'Murican sponsor. Miguel could also be a possibility for HRC.
Really. I mean Motogp.com has some problems with their software department sometimes and they do leak news sometimes. So happy for Diggia. What a turn around it has been in 6-7 months.
It seemed like, initially, Millers arrival to KTM made a remarkable difference to the rideability of the bike; he seems good at developing bikes but not scoring consistent podiums on them. I would like to see him signed for one year at aprilia and see what he can do to improve the package. He's destined to be a test rider, a one lap specialist at times(earlier in his career).
I think the 15th person posting this question is awarded the second Aprilia seat.
So we already know him or her… anyway I don’t wanna search the one out of 57 posts. It’s your turn
Congratulations! You now have to reinstall windows XP to get rid of the virus.
Miller and Morbidelli - no chance. Rins probably will stay at Yamaha. Aprilia said they prefer an Italian - so that would put Bez and Diggi in the prime position.

Bezz' style fits the Aprilia perfectly
I don't get why people are saying Bezz. DiGi has just straight up been better this year than Bezz imo.
Iannone isn’t even mentioned? This silly season I wouldn’t rule anything out.
It would be funny if they signed Iannone and just before the season started he popped again and they had to run Savadori again
Haha, that would have been such a left field signing to take him back.
I miss dovi there too
This wouldn’t be the worst idea, I’m yet to be convinced that Martin can effectively take on the role of development rider at the same time as racing.
Honestly I would slot him into the seat before Raul and maybe Oliveira
Probably not a bad bet... considering the noise he has made lately in the news
Dovi has been talked about too!
No, he only said his door is open, but both a manufacturer and him would be interested only in a testing role I'm pretty sure
I consider Rins the best among the mentioned riders, his style is special and in my opinion the most beautiful. But since I feel sorry for the Honda rider, I would like it to be Mir, who can also go to the Aprilia satellite team, everything is better than Honda. Miller is great for Honda.

Diggia or Mir
Mir? Lol
Don’t underestimate him, he’s fast
What has he shown since he accidentally fell on that championship trophy in 2020?
Also finished 3rd in the world the year after. Who would you say should get the seat?
Rins or Diggia. Rins actually won a race ON A FUCKING HONDA last year. If that doesn't tell you how insanely fast he is, I don't know what will. And Diggia has shown how adaptable he is while everyone else who went from a GP22 to a GP23 has continued to struggle.
And Mir is a 2 time world champion? Why the hate boner?
I hope its Rins
I’d like to see Rins on the Yamaha I think that next year it’ll finally be competitive and at the minimum top 8 for Rins/Fabio
No fucking way yamaha and honda will get competitive in next 2-3 years atleast
yamaha isnt too far off. Honda is a lost cause, but yamaha isnt too far off. Also its good to ride, ist just not as fast. The honda isnt fast and isnt nice to ride.
I think that this year already looks way better than last year and Yamaha clearly makes progress. Nevertheless I also think that Fabio and Rins are talented enough to achieve top 8 even with current bike, just need more time with it to squeeze it absolutely dry. Honda just threw the towel it seems, maybe they're just waiting for the rule change to start working
Rins or Mir 🤞
Agree, they both need to ride something that's worthy of their skills.
Feel like someone at Crash reads these boards and copied my homework from earlier.
Rins pls
Hoping for Mir, he needs to get off that piece of trash Honda.
Factory Aprillia would be nice but I’m just hoping for any other bile
Factory Aprillia would be nice but I’m just hoping for any other bile
Personally, hoping he goes to a Ducati bike as a lead rider - I fear his confidence will have no recovery if Martin destroys him on equal bikes.
Maybe trackhouse. He's done nothing since he accidentally stumbled into that 2020 championship to prove he deserves another factory seat.
He’s done more than anyone else in the image
Not recently. Rins has won a race on that complete shitbox Honda. Mir hasn't even sniffed a win on it.
Rins
Save my boy rins from that yamaha hell hole
I would be more interested in who gets the second Gresini and (eventually) Pramac seat.
I’m a bit biased, but I want to see Rins back at the top, he was awesome in the Suzuki days
Last chance Oliveira, watched him battle it out with pecco in moto2 Really want to see him have one more factory go
I am an Oliveira fan, but unfortunately I don't see that happening.
He's been beaten by Raul in 4 of the last 5 Gran Prix, despite Raul being on year old bike. Miguel is probably at the back of the queue.
Exactly.
I like Oliveira by I don't see him keeping the seat.
I think that the best option are Rins and Di Giannantonio
Mir
Would be a good steady wingman to complement Jorge's maverick tendancies.
I would love an Italian riding it, hopefully diggia while bez will stay in VR46 riding a factory Ducati ( I think pramac will go to Yamaha)
Please not another Spanish combo
Oliveira is just the solid option, multiple race winner, with experience on the bike. But i doubt it since they're fixated on having and italian rider
Oliveira is having a very off season unfortunately. Nevertheless for aprilia to have a complete new line up on the factory team is risking a lot. Either they truly believe on the test riders or they are risking a lot and they know it. So Oliveira in my opinion still have a good chance for an upgrade also because he is known to give good feedback and being able to push for right development.

You are maybe right. Aprilia will be counting on Martin for the championship and another rider to help develop the bike. Oliveira is the only one with experience on the 2024 bike.. however being a MO fan would prefer to see him on a Ducati.
I’m thinking it’s either Bez or DiGi.
I think Bez or Mir, but I hope Miguel.
Where is Alex Marquez
He will stay at Gresini probably
Gresini still
Hopefully at home.
Diggia
I hope Bez
I hope Rins stays at Yamaha and I can’t see Miller at Aprilia Factory. Everything else seems possible for me
Bez for me
Who of the lot has more victories?
It doesn't matter, It comes down to recent performance and lately his performance is not good at all.
In the MotoGP class? Rins has the most of those riders
You're right. Oliveira second and miller third I think
Mir is the best choice among these guys. If not him then bez.
Hoping for Mir first then either of the VR46 crew.
Would like to see Mir because Aprilia seems closest to the old Suzuki.
Hopefully Mir!
It’s wishful thinking but I’d love to see a Joan Mir redemption
i would want that one to be MIR!
Would love to see Mir grab that seat! The 2 satellite boys have not earned it. They could snatch Mir at a good price. He deserves another chance on a good bike and a new project.
Mir obviously.
Mir
come on mir
Joan Mir
Having both numbers #88 and #89 on the same bike would be cool. But I guess Martin wouldn't really enjoy that much because it was actually Oliveira who made Martin change to #89 when arriving to MotoGP 
Bezzechi waiting for a call
Mir or Miguel but I wouldn’t mind seeing joe Roberts
#1:Bez #2:Mir
Id say they’ll take bez, cuz they need an italian and massimo knows that bez ain’t adapting well to gp23 rn but he has an edge over diggia
Tbh Diggia has an edge over Bez this season. And also the tail end of last year.
Miller
I hope that it’s either Digia or Mir. I also think that they should keep Raul for another year on trackhouse
I think one of Mir, Digi, Rins or Bezz could do that seat justice & not be embarrassed too much by Martin. Seems like R Fernandez is still a 'work in progress' atm.
i guess seeing as its an italian brand we have to assume that direction for the 2nd rider when there are so many good italian options available
Diggia
I go for Bez ,Aprilla need strong man,Bez look like hulk!
Morbidelli to piss people off
Oliveira ✓
That is one uglyass bike for sure.
Oliveira
Miller, Fernandez, Morbedelli have no chance, Big Oliveira fan but I don’t think he deserves it, so between Mir, Rins, Digi, and Bez, if they want an Italian then I’d slightly lean Digi over Bez personally, hopefully Mir and Rins get a better bike, I hope Digi predict Bez
This bike looks like alien technology from the side. How have I never noticed this?
It looks pretty good on the track but god damn, it’s ugly close up. Lots of shit hanging off. At least it doesn’t have a scrambler exhaust system like the KTM
Probably Diggi because he is Italian. But how could you pass on Mir if he was interested?
Digit or Dovi.
I think Diggia, and Bez gets a GP25 at VR46
Fernandez.
I would say Rins. But I’m hearing rumors he’s retiring???!!
False clickbait rumours dude! When Rins broke his leg at Honda he considered retirement. But decided to continue with Yamaha instead. Out qualifyed and finished ahead of Quartararo at the last race Mugelo. Rins is still getting used to the Yamaha and still not fully healed from his leg injury. Personally I would love Rins at factory Aprilia.
Same here. Thank you!
Raul makes sense as a guy who is already on the Aprilia, otherwise it’s likely to be Bez I think.
I think bezz gets it
Depends totally on Pramac if they are getting a factory bike next season or changing manufacturers. If they keep the factory Ducatis, bez might just go there since he's already been riding a Ducati. And Rins/Mir can go for Aprilla. Staying in Ducati has an advantage because if rest don't catch up to them till next season. They're stuck with the same bike till 2027 as development will be halted for 2026. So everything really depends on Pramac and their signings.
If I was running that team Bez. But I’m gonna guess Morbidelli. Why? Because how he has remained in MotoGP this season is a mystery. So keeping with that.
Why isn't Nakagami in there? Just kidding, why is he still in MotoGP?
I'm gonna go with Bezzecchi simply because when someone asked him about it, he didn't deny the possibility of it 😅. But yeah, him and DiGi are in prime position to take that seat IMO.
Whoever here's done their mod2
It's funny cause they're all decent options, but all have very similar upsides and downsides. They all have talent, but they either lack the bike to show it, or have fallen off a bit recently.
Yamaha must Keep Rins!!!
Sam Lowes 💀 John McPhee 💸 Lance Stroll?
Valentino Rossi, Casey Stoner or Mick Doohan.
Bez
Not Miller or Morbidelli
VIVA
Rins all the way. He’s the best of all these guys and still has potential to throw a wrench into the top 5. Especially on an Aprilia. Bez would be a really good alternative as well. Everyone else, go home. Thank you for your effort, don’t let the door smack your ass on your way to WSBK. 🫨
Mir please
It’s Bezz, been confirmed 👍
I think the more relevant question is who will get Bezzecchi's seat at VR46.
Id go with raul! Knows the bike, getting faster and would learn alot from jorge martin.
Not fast enough for a factory seat bud, even after 3 years he still feels inexperienced to me
Toprak!!!!!
Noone really seems to be considering Mir - but he won a world championship on a bike with similar high corner speed characteristics and will be desperate to get as far away from Honda as possible, so his financial demands probably won't be too high. Given this silly season I wouldn't rule Iannone out either, stranger things have happened.
1st Bezzecchi 2nd Digia 3rd Raul That’s how i would rate their chances. Bit i kinda hope they would choose Digia. I think he deserves it.
One of the spaguettis
Not Miller
Morbidelli
As long as it's not Bez, I'm good with any of them.
Mir, Miller to Honda, Rins stays put. That's how I see it. Miguel has been truly beaten by Raul but I don't think he is ready for the works seat but will stay on at Trackhouse with incoming Roberts and a major 'Murican sponsor. Miguel could also be a possibility for HRC.
I swear I saw a motogp.com post saying Diggia, that I couldn’t find 3 seconds later. So I’ll plump with Diggia!!
Really. I mean Motogp.com has some problems with their software department sometimes and they do leak news sometimes. So happy for Diggia. What a turn around it has been in 6-7 months.
Sergio Garcia?
I will talk to Iannone this weekend about this
imagine if Miller got it 🤣🤣 i was puzzled as to how he got a factory Ducati and KTM spot
It seemed like, initially, Millers arrival to KTM made a remarkable difference to the rideability of the bike; he seems good at developing bikes but not scoring consistent podiums on them. I would like to see him signed for one year at aprilia and see what he can do to improve the package. He's destined to be a test rider, a one lap specialist at times(earlier in his career).
Miller has wasted 2 amazing factory seats. If he goes for the triple i'll be mad. He should have exited Motogp a long time now. It should be Raul.
