As per last season, five different manufacturers are represented on the entry list, with defending champion marque Yamaha set to face opposition from Kawasaki, Ducati, BMW and Honda.
Kawasaki is the best-represented marque with six bikes, followed by Ducati and Yamaha with five each. BMW and Honda meanwhile have both expanded to four bikes, their respective satellite teams (Bonovo and MIE Racing) having both added second entries.
The entry list confirms that Yamaha’s Toprak Razgatlioglu will use the #1 plate instead of his usual #54 for his title defence, while his main 2021 rival Jonathan Rea’s Kawasaki will sport the #65 for the first time since 2015.
Chaz Davies’ retirement has cleared the way for new Honda signing Iker Lecuona to use the #7 for his rookie season.
