Moto2 champion Acosta will make a high-profile step up into MotoGP in 2024 and has been named alongside Augusto😼 Fernandez, and instead of Pol Espargaro, in the Tech3 GASGAS team.

Miller and Brad Binder have contrac𝔍ts to remain on their factory bikes next year.

But team members within KTM and Tech3 GASGAS still consider it realistic that Acosta may take Miller’s ꦉplace, report.

Acosta, still just🧜 19, is rated as a phenomenal talent whꩲo KTM were so desperate to keep within their ranks.

Miller is in his ninthꦓ MotoGP season, his first since swapping Ducati for KTM, but has been outperformed by Binder.

Miller 🦂is ninth in the MotoGP standings, Binder fourth, heading into this weekend in Qatar.

Pit Beirer, Motorsport Director for KTM, had told Speedweek: “The current plan is tha🐲t we'll see Pedro and Augusto on the GASGAS and Jack and Brad on the KTM."

But his wordingꦇ leaves room ꦡto possibly change his mind.

He added🌞: “With Brad and Jack, we have two guys with a lot of experience at Red Bull KTM. T𒁏hey are also the first to receive new parts to develop and sort out. Augusto is entering his second season at GASGAS, and Pedro is expected to come into MotoGP for the first year as a rookie without pressure and work there in peace. 

“When you're on the grid in꧑ orange at Red Bull KTM, maybe that's a certain kind of pressure. 

“That's why we think it's the right way to start with Pedro in his first year at Herve P✃oncharal with his great experience and his team with a lot of calm. 

“After that, we will set the c💃ourse for the future at an early stage."
