JAKARTA - The fate of Andrea Dovizioso and Darryn Binder in the WithU Yamaha RNF team is not safe. The second position is now being rocked by the issue of the presence of a new rider for the Yamaha satellite team in MotoGP 2023.
The performance of Andrea Dovizioso and Darryn Binder is far from satisfactory. Especially for Dovizioso who already has a lot of experience in MotoGP.
Andrea Dovizioso is currently in 20th position in the MotoGP 2022 rider standings with eight points. The best result achieved by the former Ducati and Honda rider was in the 11th place finish in MotoGP Portugal.
While Darryn Binder currently occupies the 21st position with six points. He once finished in the top 10 while racing at the Mandalika MotoGP. However, as a rookie, Binder's performance is still understandable.
However, that does not mean the South African racer is still safe.

Reportedly, Dovizioso and Binder seats are being prepared for Moto2 racer Celestine Vietti and 2021 Superbike champion Toprak Razgatlioglu.
Even reportedly, Toprak will undergo a test with Yamaha MotoGP in June. This further strengthens the signal that the Turkish rider will move to MotoGP next season.
Regarding this, the director of the Yamaha racing team, Lin Jarvis, did not confirm it, but also did not deny it. He indicated that the possibility exists.
"Vietti could be an issue. But I think he will also be considered by the Mooney VR46 Team. I don't know if there is a place for him because they have Luca Marini and Marco Bezzecchi. He (Vietti) is definitely one of the interesting riders," said Jarvis.
As for Toprak, Jarvis was not able to provide certainty. "We have no place for him in the factory team. He has to try the bike first, then we will see how he performs and his speed," said Jarvis.
"After that, if he has the intention to enter MotoGP, we can offer our best place, which is RNF."
