The Spaniard will be the only rookie rider in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 MotoGP rider line-up, joining Pol Espargaro at the Tech3 GASGAS team.

KTM have the talented Fernandez, the reigning Moto2 champion, within their ranks but also hold the key to Ped⛦ro Acosta, a potential future superstar who is still just 18.

“Pedro a thre🦋at? B🌊efore that, [Fernandez] has to think only about making the most of the moment, without looking too much to the future,” KTM team manager Francesco Guidotti said.

“I don't𒉰 think he experiences it badly, but rather as an opportun♊ity to be exploited well." 

Fernandez is 25-yea♊rs-old and is already experienci๊ng the pressure of a seat in the premier class.

Acosta, 18, is a former Moto3 champion set for his seco♊nd season in Moto2 for Red Bul🐲l KTM Ajo.

Depending on his progress, and if he lives up to the billing that many predict for him, KTM could find themselves with the difficult problem of having too many gifted riders for the amount of seats that th🔯ey can offer.

Guidotti said about Acosta: "I don't want to say he's not a danger, but 𒊎then maybe we findไ out that he's made his own decision and he's not with us." 

Guidotti told Fernandez: "He must think about the present, enjoy it, learn as many things as ꦯpossible and live race by race, without thinking about next year. And we know it will come soon: there will be few movements, but in May-June we will al💯ready know something.

“He must t🅷ake 💞advantage of the moment. It's a great opportunity and he has to play it well."
