Already discussed,
Dungey-5 (AMA signed off)
Cairoli-222 (will cost him a signed jersey per Matthes)
84-If Herlings comes would you want to be the guy known as drawing a line in the sand over a number?

You don't see me heading over to the GPs and asking if I can run #84 over there.
Herlings can run #1 next year if he earns it, or whatever two-digit number he earns on points. Take my number this season? No way. I'd expect the same from him in Europe if the roles were reversed.

Is the 222 free (I have no idea) for Tony's stint in the U.S.?

Can Scott Meshey sell his 84 like a popular web domain to uh, I dunno, someone that might want it?

No, Herlings would not be #84 if he came, that number was assigned for 2022 based on 2021 points and is not transferable. Herlings used #784 the last time he was here. In the case of Dungey #5 was open and the AMA felt that they would make an exception for his comeback, however long it lasts. And #222 has been used the last couple of seasons by Brandon Hugney of Pennsylvania, but he has not qualified or picked up any points with it yet, and agreed that Cairoli could use it as well since the AMA can work around a possible duplicate in any given race with the electronic timing and scoring. That's not standard practice but given Cairoli's situation with his trademark #222 (it was retired by the FIM last year) and the unique marketing opportunities and global familiarity with it, they made this exception.

Never thought even just a week ago that we would be seeing both #5 and #222 on a starting gate this summer!
