Yet for KTM, it is appare🍌ntly feasible to unite them.

Moto2 star Acosta is one of five contracted riders that KTM insist will b𝓰e in MotoGP next season - but they currently only have four bikes to place them on.

• Marc M🌳arquez: “I hadꦡ dinner with Red Bull and KTM, Pit Beirer was also there”

Honda’s Marquez is KTM’s dream recruit - they failed to convince him to move next seasꦺon but will surely try a♉gain in 2025 when he’s a free agent.

Team manager Francesco Guidotti w🙈as asked if he dreams of pairing Marquez with Acosta, and replied to : “I dream of being world champion in 2024 with the Brad Binder-Jack Miller duo. 

“Then we'll think about it in 2025.”

I🐽n 2025, KTM hope to have more than four bikes on the grid, opening the possibility of keeping Binder and Miller while ✤also incorporating Marquez and Acosta.

Marquez has even said that he expects KTM to become the No1 manufacturer, and Guidotti reacted: “I think and hope that h🍬e believes it. ꦿ;

“If we manage to maintain the 🅘progression made from last year, next year we will really be among the contenders.”

Marque🧸z, of course, represented KTM in 2009 at 125cc before his Honda alliance began.

“Let's say that the beginning of his [journey], on what he could💖 have become, began with us,” G♉uidotti said. 

“As [Pit Beirer,ꩲ KTM motorsport director] said, he has a contract with Honda fܫor 2024. 

“For us, think𝓡ing about the rider campaign is still premature, we are still very focused on the technical aspect and we are happy wi♚th our riders. 

“We will see at the end ofꦯ 2023 where we will be, and then think about 2025.”

On the talented teenager Acosta, Guidotti said: “I🅷 see a huge talent who, however, also has to work a lot on all the other aspe🌃cts that being a professional rider in MotoGP requires today. 

“From preparation to nutrition, to the mental condition to manag🔯e which is increasingly different from Moto2 with t𓆏his format.

“I don't knoꦦw if he will be immediately effective.”

Arra🧸nging where Acosta will be placed, or which rider he might replacꦇe, is ongoing.

“We have made som🐓e choices and we will take responsibility for finding the solutio♎n to the problems that have arisen,” Guidotti said.

The team manager noted the issues with more than four bikes on the grid: “I personally think that at the moment having five or six bikes could be more of a distraction for us, as we are still in a growth phas✱e. 

“We cannot yet approve bikes witꦅh the certainty of constant performance.”
