Marquez is tied to under-performing Honda untiꦆl the end of 2024 on the biggest-money deal in MotoGP today.

But, after crashing out 🦩of his fourth consecutive grand prix at Mugello, attention again turned to how he will ever challenge for a seventh premier class championship.

Asked by if KTM had closed the door on signing Marquez, their motorsport director Beirer answered: “No, that'🍸s not true. 

“It was also said out o𒈔f context that we are not interested because, first of all, Marc Marquez has a valid contract and we have four riders with a valid contract for this year and for next year. 

“Which i𒊎s not even a realistic scenario we can eve𓄧n discuss. 

“We know𝓡 that Marc Marquez is an outstanding character in this championship.”

KTM’s factory pair 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller are tied down until the end of 2024, and so is Tech3 GASGAS rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pol Espargaro.

Augusto Fernandez, their other satellite rider, is out of contract at the end of this season but KTM have a separate problem to solve - whether to re🌞place him with Moto2 starlet Pedro Acosta.

But the really big issue is the potential availability 🧸of six-time MotoGP champion Marquez in 20🥂25.

Would KTM be in the mix for him?

“I don't know, we have to ask꧙ Marc because I feel that in this paddock everyone would be open🎃 to talking to Marc,” Beirer said. 

“I saw the rumours lately in the press, and, honestlyꦛ, ಌI haven't talked to Marc about it. 

“For me it is a kind of praise because if we remember, last summer, in this situation, we said that we were not ready for MotoGP or in Motocros🃏s and now we are 🍃in a very competitive situation with our riders, with great performances and then we get a rumour that Marc Marquez is interested in racing for KTM. 

“For all the people who are in the project it is🧜 an incredible compliment because he is Mr. MღotoGP. 

“But there is nothing more or nothing less because, as I said, he has a contra🅷ct for next year. 

“I do🎉n't think🌞 anyone in the entire paddock knows what will happen in 2025. 

“Iꦗ am super happy with the four riders we have now. 

“We are waiting for Pol to return to the GASGAS teaꦕm, for our captain to return. 

“Brad and Jack are fantastic guys. 

“I think it's not fair to talk abo🍸ut someone as strong as Marc M𒁃arquez, having our four riders.”

T🅷he intrigue is that KTM and Marquez have separate ties to Red Bull.

Could the energy drinks company use their powerhouse status to bꦰring the rider and team together?

“No,” Beirer𓆉 states. “I think there is too much talk because Red Bull cannot offer Marc Marquez.&🌠nbsp;

“Only Marc Marquez can offer himself. 

“We have a great relationship with Red Bull and, of course, he's a Red Bull athlete and a friend of theirs, but it's not as simple as two people coming together and sayin🐬g, 'OK, let's take Marc Marquez to꧂ KTM'. 

“Like I said, we take this r🔴umour as a big compliment, but we still have our riders and I'm very happy with their performance. 

“They deserve all the credit possible from K💎TM and also our full attention.”
