        There are only four races to go before Valentino Rossi leaves MotoGP, a real blow for the entire championship, which has gravitated around the nine-time champion for around twenty years. However, the Italian champion won&rsquo;t be saying goodbye to the championship, bequeathing four teams, or rather one in the top class, two in Moto2 and one in Moto3. An important and, until not long ago, unexpected decision for the VR46 Academy, these teams are listed in the provisional entry lists, and there are a few surprises. Double commitment in Moto2, Yamaha involvement  In 2022, VR46 will field four teams across all three championship categories, or this is what next year&rsquo;s entry lists tell us at least. As we know, MotoGP will see the arrival of Valentino Rossi's team with Ducati. Although there are still doubts as to the name of the second rider (Luca Marini is confirmed, Marco Bezzecchi a possible team-mate) and the role of the main sponsor, the participation of the Doctor&rsquo;s team was already confirmed a while ago. The real news regards Moto2 though, a category in which VR46 has decided to double its efforts and add a second team in addition to the squad already on track. The current team will be reconfirmed and known as Aramco-VR46 (SKY does not feature for now), thanks to an agreement with the Saudi giant, which should take on the same role in the top class. The rumours about Yamaha being interested in the intermediate class are apparently true, and the Iwata manufacturer will collaborate with VR46 in order to promote talents coming from the East and Middle East, that team to be known as the VR46 Master Camp Team. Back to its roots, the Moto3 team returns  After a year&rsquo;s absence, the VR46 Racing Team will be back in Moto3, a class in which it debuted in 2014. In 2022, the Doctor&rsquo;s team will play a starring role with Avintia, forming the Avintia VR46 Riders Academy. The entry lists published are not definitive but the clues are all there&hellip; Valentino Rossi&rsquo;s commitment to the championship will clearly continue on after the end of this season.

In just a few races&rsquo; time, Valentino Rossi will leave the championship as a rider, but his teams will compete across all classes in 2022 &nbsp;

        Who doesn&rsquo;t dream of having their brother on the team? Particularly if the brother in question is one&nbsp;Valentino Rossi&hellip; Luca Marini has admitted as much during the WITHU Motorsport event in Erbezzo, in the province of Verona, where the Sky Racing Team riders are getting to grips with rally cars. Interviewed by Sky Sport, Marini was able to talk about his day with the sponsor and also discuss his famous brother, who he dreams of sharing a garage with next season. &ldquo;Valentino? It would be a dream to have him on the team with me&rdquo;  &ldquo;We&rsquo;re in for an interesting second part of the season. I&rsquo;ll try to improve and score more points than I did during the first part. It&rsquo;ll be more difficult because other riders have improved and will improve, as will their bikes&rdquo;, says Luca. As for the VR46 team, he adds: &ldquo;I need to speak with Uccio and the other VR guys because we want to be clear about next year. I think it&rsquo;s an ambitious project but one we need to lift high, scoring strong results, I won&rsquo;t settle for simply taking part. We need to do as we did in Moto2, or rather become a top team and try to fight for the podium and wins. I&rsquo;m sure we can do it in MotoGP too, and if I have a factory Ducati it would be even better, fantastic actually, because I get on well with everyone I&rsquo;ve had dealing with in Ducati. It&rsquo;s a great atmosphere and I think they too are pushing and investing to get back on top of the world&rdquo;. &ldquo;Valentino will race with me next year, that&rsquo;s the bombshell news&rdquo;, jokes Marini, before returning to the facts of the matter. &ldquo;We haven&rsquo;t talked to him a lot. It all depends on him, I hope he&rsquo;ll decide to do what he enjoys the most. He&rsquo;s ok with what he&rsquo;s achieved in the past, and is the best rider of all time in my opinion. But MotoGP without him is unthinkable and no one wants to see that. I only hope that he decides as to what is best for him. If he continues to race, I&rsquo;ll be over the moon and if he&rsquo;s on the team with me it would be a dream, but in the end it&rsquo;s him who has to decide&rdquo;.
