Could a sensational prediction pitting 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez on an MV Agusta have crept one step closer?

Pierer Mobility Group, the parent company of KT♈M, have now become the majority shareholder in MV Agusta.

They have acquired a ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ50.1% stake in the historic brand, adding theಌm to a portfolio which includes KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS.

The new CEO of the iconic (but strugglin🌳g) MV Agusta brand is Hubert Trunkenpolz. He is on the board of Pierer Mobility Group and represents the ‘T’ in KTM.

This big news in the world of road bikes could turn into a dream scenario in MotoGP.

KTM are in the process of trying to expand their current presence of four bikes on the 2024 g🌌rid.

Factory duo Brad Binder and Jack Miller are supplemented by Tech3 GASGAS’ Pedro Acosta and Augusto Fernandez, b🌸ut KTM want more.

Last year they enquired u꧙nsuccessfully with Dorna about adding e꧃xtra bikes to the grid, and with existing satellite teams about coming across into their group.

KTM are reportedly among the teams talking to VR46, who are deciding whether to leave🌊 or stay with Ducati.

Could KTM now have the perfect route iﷺnto a fifth and a six🦩th bike with MV Agusta?

"I don't rule out the possibi🔥lity that we will enter MotoGP as a separate brand with MV Agusta in 2027," Stefan Pierer to༒ld in December.

MV Agusta are a historic MotoGP manufacturer despit🐠e withdrawing in 1976, after 38 riders’ championships.

Giacomo Agostini, Mike Hailwood, Phil Read and John Surtees are among the legendary names t🅺o have represented MV Agusꦦta.

The brand made a brief and low-key retu🐬rn in 2019 in Moto2 until the project with Forward Racing abruptly ended.

But now with new financial backing and under new ownership, MV Agusta retains the name and reputation🉐 to make a splash in mo꧟torcycle racing again.

Especially if a star like Marquez was recruiteౠd to front the project.

The eight-time worl🌺d champion who swapped Honda for Ducati is only tied down for one year, and his fut🎃ure is up for grabs next year again.

Marquez and KTM share Red Bull as an influential sponsor and he could yet be approached by tཧhe factory team for 2025.

Last year Ricard Jove reported for&💧nbsp;: "Do you know what KTM's dream is? Do you know what marketing exercise KTM really wants to do in the future?

“Having Marc Marquez on an MV Agusta.

"That's the play they'd like and it can be.

“But that is the objective and I think it is a very good marketing꧑ exercise if it ꩲis achieved.

"That's where the shots of the future go or that's where they will go. This is my opinion based on certain information, bu🍨t it is my opinion."

Things have changed since th𒁃en. Marquez joined Ducati, and now KTM have acquired MV Agusta.

There would need to be regulatory hurdles jumped which include proving that KTM and MV Agusta are developed𝓰 anꩲd homologated separately.

New Mot🐭oGP regulations come into effect in 2027, and KTM clearly have big plans.

Does a fantasy alignment with Marquez make sense?
