The 19-year-old Spaniard is arguably the hottest property outside of the premier class, and is currently battling for the Moto2 title, riding for Red Bull KTM Ajo.

But his fast rise is causing possiꦫble difficulties because KTM have made clear that they would prefer him to stay🐓 with Moto2 in 2024, then come to MotoGP in 2025.

But “it will be Acosta, and only Acosta, who decides his future” 🐻according to .

KTM are “wa𒈔iting for Acosta to communicate what𒁃 his intentions are”, report.

“If he has not changed his m𓄧ind in recent weeks, his desire is very clear: to make the leap to 'first division'; winning or not winning the [Moto2] title,” the report state𝓰s.

KTM are ౠobviously keen to keep Acosta, knowing how brilliantly prodigious he is, but they also don’t want to repeat the case of Raul Fernandez, who entered MotoGP with them amid tension.

KTM also know that, if Acosta demands a MotoGP seat next season, it spells the end for Augusto Fernandez, who is their only out-of-contract 🐟rider at the end of 2023.

They must decide wheth🃏er Acosta’s potential outweighs the year of experience that Fernandez has already accrued.

"It's a situation that disturbs me," Herve Pon🍒charal, manager of Fernandez's GASGAS Tech𓃲3 team, said. 

"Augusto is doing his job as a🎃 rookie in MotoGP impeccably, flawlessly. 

“And when ꦫa driver does it like Augusto is doing, he deserves the opportunity of a second year. 

“On the other hand, Acosta is also doing well what he has to do, and I think he is ready 🍸to make the jump to MotoGP. It's a very difficult situation.𒁃"

If KTM opt to stick by Fernandez, they will lose the incredibly gifted Acos🎉ta to a ♔rival manufacturer.

KTM have Jack Miller, Brad Binder and Pol Espargaro contracted until the end of 2024 - t🍒his is why they would prefer Acosta to wait until then before entering MotoGP.

But that big decision is not in their hands…
