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 and their Moto2 prodigy all have deals for next se𓆏ason.
Fernandez said after the Austrian MotoGP: “We just got the information that I’m going to keep ⛦on the same team, GA♓SGAS, for next year.
“So the rest? I don’t know.
“What𝄹 is sure is that I will continue with the same team, in MotoGP.”
Espargaro was then asked if he’d received any information, and replied: “No. With myself, it is [clear]𓆏.
“I have🐼 a full contract with GASGAS this year 🌳and next year.
“I am zero worried about that. I’𓂃m just worried about my results.
“It’s not a m🌼atter of results, it’s a matter of contracts🥀. This is clear.
“I cannot! I’m sorry! I have my contract and a very good relatio൩nship with Mr. Beirer. Thཧere is nothing to be worried about.
“The results show I a💛m performing. I’ve be🃏en in front of my teammates, and Jack sometimes.
“But it’s not about results, it’s🙈 about contracts.
“The Pierer Group Mobility have a solution, m𒆙aybe you don’t know, maybe I don’t know, maybe it’s a secret which will appear in a few races.
“It’s nothing tha⛦t is worrying me, at the moment.”
Miller bluntꦇly said about his situation: “I’m confirmed. No question.”
KTM have considered the i🎃dea of using one rider as a test and reserve opt🧔ion, providing them with a top-class substitute in the eventuality that they suffer injuries.
This would also enable them to keep all five riders ahea🧸d of ꦕ2025, when they hope to use more than four bikes on the grid.
