The diversity of honours isn’t just exclusive to the top step, with an eclectic mix of factories represented on the rostrum in 2022. As of yet, no rider has featured twice in the top three, meaning that there have been nine different podium finishers in Qatar, Indonesia and Argentina. Binder and Pol Espargaro accompanied Bastianini in parc ferme at Lusail, while Oliveira led Frenchmen Quartararo and Zarco over the line in Mandalika. Most recently, Martin and Rins could only watch on as Aleix Espargaro went on to create history. We won’t have to wait long to see if this trend continues, with a date in COTA just around the corner.
