Factory duo 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder, Tech3 GASGAS pair 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pol Espargaro and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Augusto Fernandez, and Moto2 graduate Pedro Acosta are all contracted for a premier class seat in t💧he 2024 M♋otoGP rider line-up.

However, Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta has again refused KTM’s wish to have a fifth bi♛ke next season - but he has offered them hope with a new idea.

"Let's see if it's clear,” Ezpeleta w💖as quoted 𓆉by about KTM expanding their presence on the grid.

“There has never been a fifth bike for KTM and thꦚere isn't one. Okay? 

“I don't know where you get that from because I've told everyone who has asked me: There are no more bikes b🌱ecause the existing system is working very well.

“Iღndependent teams have rights and value that they would not have if you gave everyone who arrived a mot🦄orcycle.

Ezpeleta said about how KTM can solve the issue of having an extra rider: "That's not a problem. It's as if Barcelona had 12 players and said: 'Now what do we do?'&♉nbsp;

“Well, one stays on the ben♌ch. Well, it's the same. 

“They have four positions and five riders. 

“I think that having, in a world championship as long as we have now, having five riders prepared to be able to get on any of those four bikes, is a good solution. ✃;

“That, together w𝔍ith the fact that there are some wild cards, as it will help all the🍨 riders to be busy for most of the time.

“We are going to propose that there be more w�ꦚ�ild cards. 

“These are not concessions, they are wild cards f♒or everyone.”

The quantity of injuries this seas♛on in MotoGP, and the addition of sprint races into the format, has been plenty of reserve riders competing in races.

This weekend at the Catalunya MotoGP for example, Iker Lecuon🍸a will fill in for Alex Rins again.

It wiღll be Lecuona’s fifth MotoGP outing of the seaso𝕴n.

So, KTM could use one of their five contracted riders in a ‘reserve’ role, ready to step in for either their factory or satellite teams in the case of a🏅n injury.

And the addition of extra wildcards means that the reserve rider c🐻ould rack up the equivalent of half-a-season or more, depending on injuries.

Now, KTM must work out which of their five riders - Miller, Binder, Espargaro, Fernandez or Acosta -ဣ to use in that role.
