Moto2 champion Acosta will make a high-profile step up into MotoGP in 2024 and has been named alongsiꦦde Augustꦏo Fernandez, and instead of Pol Espargaro, in the Tech3 GASGAS team.

Miller and Brad Binder have contracts🎉 to remain on their factory bikes next year.

But team meಞmbers within KTM and Tech3 GASGAS still consid💞er it realistic that Acosta may take Miller’s place, report.

Acosta, still just 19, is rated as a phenomenal ta💯lent who KTM were so desperate to keep wit🍸hin their ranks.

Miller ꧅is in꧋ his ninth MotoGP season, his first since swapping Ducati for KTM, but has been outperformed by Binder.

Miller is ninth in the MotoGP standings, Binder f🅠ourth, heading into this weekend in Qatar.

Pit Beirer, Motorsport Director for KTM, had told Speedweek: “The current plan is that🐻 we'll s💙ee Pedro and Augusto on the GASGAS and Jack and Brad on the KTM."

But his wording leaves room to possibly change𝔉 his mind.

He added: “With Brad and Jack, we have two guys with a lot of experience at Red Bull KTM. They are also the first to receive new parts to develop and sort out. Augusto is entering his second season at GASGAS, and Pedro is expected to come into MotoGP for the first year as a rookie without pressure a🧜nd work there in peace. 

“When you're on the grid in orange at Red Bull KTM, maybe that's a🐻 c💮ertain kind of pressure. 

“That's why we think it's th🎐e right way to start with Pe🗹dro in his first year at Herve Poncharal with his great experience and his team with a lot of calm. 

“After that, we will set the course for 🏅the future at an early stage."
