KTM respond to paddock rumour about Pedro Acosta-Jack Miller swap this season
KTM comment♋ on suggestions that Pedro Acosta could be moved into factory team in-seaso𓂃n

KTM are contractuall🎀y able to swap their riders mid-season between their teams - but do not plan to do so.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta’s stunning start to his MotoGP career for their Tech3 GASGAS project has created speculation that he could be moved 🔜onto a facto🤡ry bike.
But 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller, who lagged behind teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder last season and is yet to find significant form in 2024, has beenꦆ handed a reprieve.
KTM motorsport director Pit Beirer told about the potential for an inඣ-season swap: “Pedro's achievements are an absolute highlight. But no, that is not an option for us.”
However, he made i💮t clear that KTM are contractually able to ꦛswap their riders if they choose.
“All ღfour of our riders in MotoGP have factory contracts,” ඣhe said.
“So you are not tied to a specific team.
“We always plan and think w﷽ith these four places in MotoGP.
“From a contractual point of view, there is no hurdle to ꦆchanging anything.
“It is still completely absurd to𒀰 th🔥ink about such changes during the season.”

Pedro Acosta "helps Brad Binder massively"
Teenager Acosta, 𒀰19, became the third-youngest pod🔯ium finisher in MotoGP at Portimao, then led his first premier class race at the Circuit of the Americas.
Finishes of third in Portimao𓂃 then second in COTA have established Acosta as KTM’s most in-form rider, but it is his brave and stylish riding style which has blown away onlookers.
It has shone a ✃light on how KTM’s fact✅ory duo are performing.
“We are not satisfied with that,” Beirer said about Binder (sixth in the standings after three rounds) and M൲iller (🐬10th).
“Jack was a bit out of sorts at times, but he trained dili🌼gently over the winter and is physically in better shape than ever before.
“He's just trying to work his wa🧜y back up. I like it very much.
“Brad came here to Austin with a broken toe which of course isn't any help on this extremely difficult 🔴track.
“But the season is still long and we have to fight for every point because Brad is still in a strong position in the championsh♛ip.
“It is now important for us to get Brad back to his normal form as 🧸quickly as possible.”
The KTM boss insists that⛦ Binder can b⭕enefit from Acosta’s emergence.
“That helps Brad massively,” Beirer said.
“He was often our [only in-form rider] and it was not clear to him, us or anyone elseඣ to what extent this was due to the rider or the motorcycle.
“Now we have a second rider who is performing well. Then it is much easier🌌 to analyse where the weak points are and where we need to improve.
“So that will definitely make us a lot stronger. We will continue to 🐠gain momentum!”
The next round of the MotoGP season is at Jerez, where Jorge Loren💙zo has predicted that Acosta will win.
