Dorna have rejected KTM’s wish to have a fift♒h bike in the 2024 grid but su♈ggested they use a rider as a reserve, but with additional wild card opportunities.

Miller called that role “shitty” and now his team boss has expressed doubt🎉, too.

• KTM reject stunning claim that Jack M𓄧iller was offered big-money test rider role

"It i♛s not possible tꩲo rotate five riders with four bikes,” Guidotti told . 

“We will see in Misano what is announced. This decision is far ab🥂ove me."

KTM have five riders contracted for next season - factory p💃air Mಞiller and Brad Binder, Tech3 GASGAS’s Pol Espargaro and Augusto Fernandez, and Moto2 talent Pedro Acosta who has been promised a step-up.

“At KTM they want to continue fighting to get t🃏hat fifth motorcycle and, although it is difficult, they [may be able].

“KTM maintains that it has not yet made any real proposaไl to Miller to accept the role of tester and make 🎉wild cards. They say that Jack is going to be a father shortly and only if he decides would he consider that option, thus respecting the contract.

“So, if there is no other solution and although nobody confirms it, everything indicates that Augusto could be the rider w🐈ho is replaced by Acosta, even if it is temporarily since KTM is clear 🍰that in 2025 they will grow in number of seats, either with KTM or MV Agusta.

“A whole soap opera with an uncertain ending that is taking place with several riders involved and, in my opinion, with a rather daring strategy that has leℱd them to this situation. I📖 just hope that the ending is good and accepted by all parties involved.”

KTM’s bold plans to expand involve possibly buying an existing satelli🐭te team in 2025, to have two extra bikes.

Ma💜rc Marquez could even reportedly be tempted onto an MV Agusta by the manufacturer.
