The four riders are Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha), Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia), and the Ducati duo Francesco Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini.

"Fabio is the most stable at the moment, both mentally and in terms of understanding the bike. It is he who can also be the most consistent throughout the season," said Dovizioso as quoted by Speedweek.
