Of course most of this is to be decided in fact the results this season will be the ground managers will base their choices on as soon as next season, but:
I believe Petrux is riding for a seat next year at the moment and he has plenty of rivals to prove wrong, as both Bautista and Miller I believe and hope are in the mix for that ride.
Oliveira may be re-signed because he's good and young, KTM may be looking at promoting him to RB KTM team for 2021.
Nakagami may stay as well since Honda will always be keen on keeping a Japanese rider around. Maybe a hot Moto2 rider can compete for this one.
The Pramac Ducati seat... Maybe one of Bautista or Miller will have to settle. I think Bautista will always be keen on returning to MotoGP even if it's on a non-factory bike.
What do you guys think the grid will look like next season, and any predictions beyond that with a big chunk of the grid having their deal expiring at the end of 2020 season?
