Not everyone within the KTM factory MotoGP team will be delighted𒁏 by Pedro Acos🃏ta’s form, it has been suggested.

KTM reshuffled their riders and🐻 demoted Pol Espargaro to a test role when Moto2 pro🀅digy Acosta demanded a step up into the premier class this year.

Riding for Tech3 GAS❀GAS, Acosta has j🗹ustified KTM’s decision with a series of stunning performances.

He is KTM’s fastest and most in-form rider.

“It will be hard for the KTM factory team to swall♐ow, seeing Pedro on the podium twice,” Michael Laverty analysed on TNT Sports after the Americas MotoGP.

“Jack Miller h🦄ad a good race but then went ﷺbackwards.

“We know Brad Binder had a tough weekend. Maybe the ﷽broken toe hampered his performance.

“They’ve got an absolute superstar in Acosta.

“So, the GASGAS team and Herve Ponchara▨l are absolutely loving it.

“You’ve got fast Aprilias, 🦩fas𒈔t KTMs, fast GASGASs.

“We are still languishing in terms of fast Japanese bikes bu💫t we’ve got three❀ Europeans lighting it up.”

Acosta became the third-youngest rider ever to finish o🐲n the MotoGP podium in Portimao then repeated the feat at the Circuit of the America💎s.

Still just 19, it ♔is his riding style coupled with his cheeky⛎ personality which has really caught the eye.

KTM have even been forced to deny that they will promote Acosta into theirᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ factory team during this season.

P💎it Beirer, their motorsport director, has admitted that contractually the factory are able to swap riders between their two teams at any time.

But he denied that there a𓄧re p꧃lans to demote either Binder or Miller in favour of Acosta.

Such a stunning mid-season move would resemble the Red Bull F1 team’s call to put a teenage Max Verstappen into their main car at th♋e mid-way point of 2016.

Red Bull and KTM, of course, have clear links.

But, for now, they do not intend to replicate the F1 team’s decision which m♊assively paid dividends.
