Could a sensational prediction pitting 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez on an MV Agusta have crept one step closer?

Pierer Mobility Group, the parent company of KTM, have now become the majority shareholder in MV Agus🔯ta.

They have acquired a 50.1% stake in the historic brand, adding them to a portfolio which includes KTM,&nb💟sp;Husqvarna and GASGAS.

The new CEO of the iconic (but struggling) MV Ag💦usta brand is Hubert Trunkenpolz. He is on the board of Pierer Mobility Group and represents the ‘T’ in KTM.

This big news in the world of road bikes could turn into a dream scenario in MotoGP.

KTM are in the process of trying to expand their current presence of 💖four bikes on the 20𒊎24 grid.

Factory duo Brad Binder and Jack Miller are supple🤡mented by Tech3 GASGAS’ Pedro Acosta and Augusto Fernandez, but KTM want more.

Last year they enquired unsuccessfully with Dorna about adding extra bikes to the grid, and wi🐽th existing satellite teams about coming across into their group.

KTM are reported♊ly among the teams🧔 talking to VR46, who are deciding whether to leave or stay with Ducati.

Could KTM ♉now have the perfect route into a fifth an🧸d a sixth bike with MV Agusta?

"I don't rule out theꦆ possibility that we will enter🎐 MotoGP as a separate brand with MV Agusta in 2027," Stefan Pierer told in December.

MV Agusta are a historic MotoGP manufacturer despite withdrawing in 1976, after 38 riders’ c𓄧hampionships.

Giacomo Agostini, Mike Hailwood, Phil Read and John Surtees are among the legꦡend♔ary names to have represented MV Agusta.

The brand made a brief and low-key return in 2019 in Moto2 until the projec𒐪t with Forward Racing abruptly ended.

But now with new finཧancial backing𒉰 and under new ownership, MV Agusta retains the name and reputation to make a splash in motorcycle racing again.

Especially if a sta𓆏r like Marquez was recruited to front the project.

The eight-time world champion who swapped Honda for💎 Ducati is only tied down for one year, and𒁏 his future is up for grabs next year again.

Marquez and KTM share Red Bull as an influential sponsor and he could yet be⛦ approached by the fa﷽ctory team for 2025.

Last year Ricard Jove reported for : "Do you know what ওKTM's dream is? Do you know what marketing exercise KTM really wants to do in the future?

“Having Marc Marquez on an MV Agusta.

"That's the play they'd like and it can be.

“But that is the objective and I🐻 think it is a very good marketing exercise if it is achiev🐭ed.

"That's where the shots of the futur🃏e go or that's where they will go. This is my opinion based on certain information, but it is my opinion."

Things hꦰave changed since then. Marquez joined Ducati, and now KTM have acquired MV Agusta.

There would need to be regulatory hurdles jജumped which include proving that KTM and MV Agusta are developed an💯d homologated separately.

New MotoGP regulations come into effect in 2027, and ꦛK𒁏TM clearly have big plans.

Does a fantasy alignment with Marquez make sense?
