KTM riders get feisty in battle for seats: “I have a contract, zero worry!”

KTM’s wish for a fifth bike on the 2024 MotoGP grid has been rejected meaning they must find a home for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pol Espargaro, Augusto Fernandez and Pedro Acosta.
Their factory duo, satellite pair and their Mo𓆉to2 prodigy all have deals for next season.
Fernandez said after the Austrian MotoGP: “We just got the 🔥information that I’m going to keep on the sam𝕴e team, GASGAS, for next year.
“So the rest? I don’t know.
“What is sure is that I 𒆙will continue with the same team, in MotoGP.”
Espargaro was then asked if he🌠’d received🌸 any information, and replied: “No. With myself, it is [clear].
“I have a full contract with GASGAS this yඣear and next year.
“I am zero worried about that. I’m just worried ⛦about my results.

“It’s not a matte♚r of results, it’s a matter of contracts. This is clear.
“I cannot! I’m sorry! I have my contract and a very good relaꦕtionship with Mr. Beirer. There is nothing🐓 to be worried about.
“The results show I am performing. I🥀’ve been in front of my teammates, and Jack sometimes.
“But it𓂃’s not about results, it’s about contracts.
“The Pierer Group Mobility have a solution, maybe you don’t know, maybe I don’t know, maybe it’s a secret which𓆉 will appear in a few races.
“Iꦚt’s nothing that is worrying me, at the moment.”
Miller bluntl🔯y said about his situation: “I’m confi✤rmed. No question.”
KTM have considered the idea of using one rider as 🎃a test and reserve option, providing them with a꧒ top-class substitute in the eventuality that they suffer injuries.
This w🐽ould also enable them to keep all five riders ahead of 2025, when they hope to use mor🙈e than four bikes on the grid.
