KTM riders get feisty in battle for seats: “I have a contract, zero worry!”

KTM’s wish for a fifth bike on the 2024 MotoGP grid has been rejected meaning they must find a home for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pol Espargaro, Augusto Fernandez and Pedro Acosta.
Their factory duo, satellite pair ܫand their Moto2 prodigy all have deals for next season.
Fernandez said after the Austrian 💟MotoGP: “We just got the information that I’m going to keep on the same team, GASGAS, for n♎ext year.
“So the rest? I don’t know.
“What is sure iꩲs that I will continue with the same team, in MotoGP.”
Esᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚpargaro was then asked if he’d received any information, and replied: “No. With myself, it is [clear].
“I ha💟ve a full contract with GASGAS this year and next yea🔯r.
“I am zero worried about that. I’m just worri🥂ed about my 🍌results.

“It’s 🗹not a matter of results, it’s a matter of contracts. This is clear.
“I cannot! I’m sorry! I have my contract and a very good relationship with Mr. Beirer. There𒊎 is nothing to be worried about.
“The results show I am performing. I’ve been in front of my✤ teammates, and Jack sometimes.
“But it’s not about resu൲lts, it’s about contracts.
“The Pierer Group Mobilit❀y have a solution, maybe you don’t know, maybe I don’t know, maybe it’s a secret which will appear in a few races.
“It’s nothing that is worrying me, at the moment.🐷”
Miller bluntly said about his sit❀uation: “I’m con𒊎firmed. No question.”
KTM have considered the idea of using one rider as a test and reserve option, providing them with a top-class substitute in the ev🤪entuality that they suffer injuries.
This would aꦉlso enable them to keep all five riders ahead of 2025, when they hope to use more than four bikes on the grid.
