Not everyone within the KTM ꩲfacto﷽ry MotoGP team will be delighted by Pedro Acosta’s form, it has been suggested.

KTM reshuffled their riders and demoted Pol Esparga🍬ro to a test role when Moto2 prodigy Acosta demande⭕d a step up into the premier class this year.

Riding for Tech3🎐 GASGAS, Acosta has justified KTM’s decision with a series of 🌟stunning performances.

He is KTM’s fastest and most in-form rider.

“It will be hard for the KTM factory team to swallow, seeꦛing Pedro on the podium twice,” Michael Laverty analysed on TNT Sports after the Americas MotoGP.

“Jack 🐽Miller had a good rac🐬e but then went backwards.

“We know Brad Bi🐽nder had a tough weekend. Maybe𝄹 the broken toe hampered his performance.

“They’ve got an absolute superstar in Acosta.

“So, the GASGAS team🌄 and Herve Poncharal are absolutely loving it.

“You’ve🔴 got fast Aprilias, fast KTMs, fast GASಌGASs.

“We are still lan﷽guishing in terms of fast Japanese bikes but we’ve got three Europeans lighting it up.”

Acosta became tℱhe third-youngest rider ever to finish on the MotoGP podium in Portimao then repeated the feat at the Circuit of the Americas.

Still just 19, it is his riding style coupled with his cheeky pe🐷rsonality which has really caught the eye.

KTM have even been forced to deny that they will promote Acosta into the🐻ir factory team during this 🎃season.

Pit Beirer, their motorsport director, has admitted that contractually the facto💜ry are able to swap riders between their two teams at any ti🦩me.

But he denied that there are plans to demote either Binder or Miller in favour of Ac𒅌osta.

Such a stunning mid-season💎 move would resemble the Red Bull Fღ1 team’s call to put a teenage Max Verstappen into their main car at the mid-way point of 2016.

Red Bull and KTM, of course, have clear links.

But, for now, they do not intend to replicat꧙e the F1 team’s decision which massively paid dividends.
