With no MotoGP race to look back on this week, Toby Moody and Simon Patterson look to the future to explain what is likely to happen when MotoGP's next round of contracts with its teams are up for renewal. The process will almost certainly result in a shuffle of the satellite teams, with the series' ambition to be for all six factories to have four bikes on the grid. If that happens, who gets the Suzuki and Aprilia deals, and what happens to Ducati's third team? And is Valentino Rossi's VR46 outfit waiting in the wings to pick up a deal?
There's also talk about why a global recession shouldn't hit MotoGP as hard as the last financial crash did, and how the championship bounced back from having races less than a decade ago where it looked like it was scrambling to fill the grid. Toby and Simon also look to how next year's calendar may look if there's more disruption, and they run through who pays for what to give you a better idea of how this year's schedule came together in the most challenging of times.
