The Tech3 GASGAS rider has been constantly backed by his bosses despite🍃 their public intention to also bring Ped🔴ro Acosta into the fold from Moto2.

It was assumed🔜 Acosta would take Fernandez’s place until Pit Beirer, 🧔CEO of the Pierer Group which owns KTM, explained otherwise.

♌He told about Fernandez, whoꦏse deal was due to expire at the end of this season: "That's why we've already extended his contract. He already has a contract [for next year].”

However, Fernandez has a different story.

“Honestly I’ve read the news bu🐎t my situation is the same as before 🅷the summer,” he said at Silverstone. 

“Nothing is confirmed so yeah, just waiting for conf𒈔irmation from the bosses. But yeah my situation is the same.”

KTM’s intention is to finꦕd space for m❀ore than their current four riders.

Factory 🉐pair Jack Miller and Brad Binder will st✤ay, and clearly they wish to keep Tech3 GASGAS duo Pol Espargaro (who is contracted for 2024) and Fernandez too.

The manufacturer is attempting to buy an existi🌟ng satellite team or to negotiate with Dorna to run more than four bikes next season.

Fernandez reacted to this news: “Yeah I’m trying to close mꦿy contract with them. 

“Obviously I want to continue with GASGAS Tech3, ꦗI’m happy with them, and I hope to continue in the same place.”

But, as it ꧃stands, KTM do not have permission to run any more than the four bikes they have this season.

And with teenage prodigy Acosta inco🍸mingಌ and requiring a seat, KTM have a problem.

📖Fernandez’s🎉 role in this issue must also be resolved.
