Alex Lowes confirmed as Johnnie's new team mate for next season. He'll no doubt be guaranteed a seat in Kawa's Suzuka team next year as well. This was the sticking point that caused Toprak to leave Kawasaki, as he was excluded from Suzuka this year, which caused Alex to be let go by Pata Yamaha. WSB will be very exciting next year with Scott joining the foray in Bautista's seat.
