KTM have five riders contracted but will only have four bikes in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP 2024 rider line-up after🌄 Dorna rejected their request for an extra machine.

Dorna suggested a ‘substitute’ idea where, by increasing the amount of wild 🐻cards available, a team could effectively have a fifth rider who races more than 10 times per season.

“KTM has offered Jack Miller double the salar♚y to fill the role of exceptional tester,” sensationally reported.

But insisted “the people🎀 I have talked to about KTM flatly deny” the pos🍸sibility.

He added: "I still think 🐎there may bꦦe a fifth KTM."

As many as 10 wild card races would be available, plus the opportunity to fill in for injuries to KTM factory or satellite riders, ꦍit was initially reported.

KTM have also renewed Dani Ped🐲rosa’s test rider role for 2024, and he will race as a wild card this weekend a♔t the San Marino MotoGP.

The role offered to Miller would allow him to develop parts by regularly racing, it w♛as claimed.

Miller, Brad Binder, Pol Espargaro and Augusto Fernandez are all contracted for next year but KTM have promised Pedro Acosta a promotion into the premier class and may value him ♋so highly that they want to give him a factory bike immediately, it has been reported.

But for Miller? 

“I’m a racer so I want to race every weekend. To have🍸 a reserve rider? That sounds pretty shitty,” he said last week.

He insisted that his 2024𒅌 contract means “there doesn’t need to be” a conversation about his future.

Miller on🌄ly arrived from Ducati🧸 this year and has helped KTM establish themselves in an impressive campaign.

But KTM have been vocal about their expansion plans which involve wanting a fifth bike, hoping to buy a satellite team fo♔r 2025, and openly courting Marc Marquez.
