KTM have denied ever holding “concrete talks” to sign 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez.

Marquez’s future is finally secured after he penned a 𓄧deal to join the factory Ducati team next season.

As his next 🍸move was negotiated, KTM were credited with an interest in luring him into their ranks.

Instead, they announced🧜 Pedro Acosta would progress from theiꦡr Tech3 GASGAS project to their official team.

“The contracꦛt renewal with Acosta has been ou♈r top priority in recent times,” Pierer Mobility Group board member Hubert Trunkenpolz told .

“Theꦐre has been no negotiation with Marquez before 2025.

“𒅌We have never talked in a concrete wayꦍ with him, because we have always given priority to Acosta.

“We have done everything possi๊ble to secure Acosta for 2025 and 2026.

“For the period after that, there 🐎are various options on how to con♌tinue with him.”

Ac𝓀osta has soareꦫd into the premier class in a stunning rookie campaign so far.

Acosta has secured two Sunday podiums and, after sevꦏen rounds, is fifth in the MotoGP standings. He is the highest-placed non-Ducati rider.

Still aged just 20, he will displace Jack Miller and sit alongside Brad Binder onꦕ official machinery next season.

“Wဣe want to give Acosta the space and opportunity to become an absolute superstar with us,” Trunkenpolz said.

“This would not be possible if he had Marquez in the garage ne๊xt door.

“We do not need all this attention.

“Acosta is also pursuing the goal of becomiဣng MotoGP champion as long as Marquez is still in the race.

“We will ✨actively support him in achieving this 🌄goal.”

Marquez and Acosta have 🦂occasionally duelled on track this season, a fascinating proposition of the old master against the new talent.

Next season, the stakes will raise when both riders move onಞto official bikes with ad🔜ded factory support.

Their budding on-tr🌳ack rivalry could include a title battle in 2025.
