KTM have denied ever holding “concrete talks” to sign 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez.

Marquez’s future 📖is finally secured after he penned a deal to join the factory Ducati team next season.

As his next move was negotiated, KTM were cre💃dited with an interest in🍃 luring him into their ranks.

Instead, they announced Pedro Acosta would progress from their Tech3 GASGAS project to their o🔯fficial team.

“T𓃲he contract renewal with Acosta has been our top priority in recent times,” Pierer Mobil♎ity Group board member Hubert Trunkenpolz told .

“There ha꧋s been no negotiation with Marque✨z before 2025.

“We hav𓂃e never talked in a concrete way with☂ him, because we have always given priority to Acosta.

“We hꦓave done everything possible to secure Acosta for 2025 and 2026.

“For the period after that, there ar𒉰e various options on how to continue with him.”

Acosta hasꦐ soared into the premier class i♋n a stunning rookie campaign so far.

Acosta🎉 has secured two Sunday podiums and, after seven rounds, is fifth in the MotoGP standings. He is the highest-placed non-Ducati rider.

Still aged just 20, he will displace Jack Mi🌃ller and sit alongside ꧒Brad Binder on official machinery next season.

“We want to give Acosta the space and opportunity to become 🅘an absolute ൩superstar with us,” Trunkenpolz said.

“This would not 💎be possible if he had Marquez in the garage next door.

“We do not need all this attention.

“Acosta is also pursuing the goal of becoming MotoGP champion as long as 🌠Marquez is still in the race.

“We willꦆ actively support him in achieving this goal.”

Marquez and Acosta have occasionally duelled on track this season, a fasc�🐲�inating proposition of the old master against the new talent.

Next season, the stakes will raise when both riders move onto official bikes with added factory s✱upport.

Their budding on-track rivalry could iওnclude a title battle in 2025.
