Speaking in the same interview, Pierer continued: "I don't think Miguel will ride with us in 2023 because he signed a lett𝄹er of intent at Aprilia. 

"But we assured him before the race inꦑ Spielberg that Tech3 will be a real second works team in the future. He didn't know that when we offered him a move to Tech3 in May. 

"If he had 🐭known earlier how the Tech3 team would be structured in the future, he might have stayed. It hurt him a bit when we prefer🍸red Jack Miller in the Red Bull team. But it is how it is. If he refuses, there is a vacancy at Tech3."
