2014 MotoGP provisional entry list
24 entrants are listed, with eleven factory machines, according to motogp.com. However, five of those are satellite bikes for the Monster Tech 3 (Yamaha), LCR (Honda), Go&Fun Gresini (Honda) and Pramac Racing (Ducati) teams.
2014 debutantes include Pol Espargaro (Monster Tech 3 Yamaha), Scott redding (Go&Fun Honda Gresini) and Mike Di Meglio (Avintia Blusens FTR - CRT).
Unfortunately for local fans, there are no Aussies in the championship. Bryan Staring's place in the Gresini team will be taken by Scott Redding next season, while Damian Cudlin's stint on the Paul Bird Motorsport/ART CRT bike is unlikely to be extended into 2014, despite that seat remaining to be confirmed.
The only other open slot at this stage is for the second Ioda Racing Project bike (CRT or 'production' Honda RCV1000R) alongside Danilo Petrucci.
