KTM motorꦛsport boss Pit Beirer says “the ball is in our court” in regards to keeping Pedro Acosta happy in MotoGP 2025 amid rumours he couldꦚ leave the brand.

The Austrian manufacturer endured a diff♛icul🥃t winter as it navigated its way through a major financial crisis having totalled debts above €2 billion.

While its future looks brighter now after its restructuri𝓀ng process was approved by creditors last month, KTM has failed to hit the ground running in MotoGP at the start of the 2025 season.

The marque sits fourth in the standings ahead of only Yamaha after two rounds, while its leading rider is Brad Binder in seventh in the championsh🅷ip - 55 points off top spot.

Binder also hold🦋s its best result𓆏 of the season so far with a seventh in Argentina, a far cry from the multiple podiums KTM enjoyed at the start of 2024.

The poor form of the RC16 has reignited rumours that KTM’s prized young superstar 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta could leave at the end of the year, with the ▨20-year-old linked 🐟to VR46 Ducati.

Acosta’s manager Albert Valera has moved to quash this speculation, with his rider currently contracted with KTM - with whom he has spent his entire grand prix career - to the end of 🤡2026.

In an interview with Speedweek, Beirer accepts tꦓhat KTM has made an ♛underwhelming start to 2025 but is “very confident” it can work things out to keep Acosta happy.

“Of course, we're anything but happy with how things🌌 started,” he said.

“The results speak for themselves. A🉐nd that's despite the fact that we've clearly made progress.

“From a speed perspective, we were a good second faster per lap tꦡhan at the last Argentine GP.

“The Q2 results also prove: The pace is 🎃there, but we're not able to maintain it over the distance.

“We are already working hard on solutions. I♊n order to make immediate progress, we wanted to send the test team to the track in Jerez last week for an originally unplanned test.

“Unfortunately, we received a cancellation – the track is not yet ready for use after the re💧cent flooding.

“Nevertheless, we are aware that it is up to us, an𓃲d therefore we must now work even harder.”

Beirer added: “I'm very gratefu𓄧l to Albert Valera for calmly going through the last very difficult months with✅ us.

“There's also no doubt that we have to give Pedro more than wha🌜t he currentl✨y has.

“As I said – the ball is in our court. Nevertheless, I'm very confi🐓dent. We've made it to th🎐is point together – now we're doing everything we can to reach our goal.”
