Pedro Acosta’s emergence in Moto2 has given KTM a headache for their 2024 MotoGP line-up

KTM would prefer to stick with the same four riders next season and leave Pedro Acosta in Moto2, says Pit Beirer - although this risks losing the young star altogether.

But the prodigious talent of 18-year-old Acosta in🤡 Moto2 for Red Bull KTM Ajo has raised t🌄he possibility that he could be promoted to the premier class.

“It might really be a luxury problem right now,”๊ KTM motorsport director Beirer ꧂told .

“In recent years we have had to learn very hard that young riders like Iker Lecuona or ❀Raúl Fernandez might get burned out too quickly in M𝓀otoGP.

“I'd like Pedro Acosta to stay in Moto2 for another year. The boy is so youꩵng!&nbs♚p;

“When he moves up to MotoGP at the age of 19, you have to keep in mind: Dani Pedrosa just showed in Jerez that you can still be successful inඣ MotoGP at the age of 37.

“Pedro is so fast and so good𓃲, 𒐪he has no stress and no time pressure to get into the premier class.

“𒊎My wish is to stick with the four MotoGP riders we have in 2023. 

“We don't want to bring in any𝔍 unrest, with all the consequences that will mean.

“Even if we were given two [extra] starting places overnight, my clear recommendation would be to build up Pedro Acosta in Moto2🧜 for another year under the proven care of Aki Ajo as a brilliant racer. 

“He still has all the time in the world.”

Espargaro and Fernandez were paired together as a new-look 🤪satellite team this season and now have the backing that their partnership will last.

The long-term strategy used with Acosta i🍎s sensible and will likely be✃nefit the teenage prodigy in the long-term.

But the worry is that Acosta gets 𓄧impatient for a shot in the premier class, and looks outside of the KTM environ𒅌ment for another seat.

But KTM have impressed so far in 2023 through their factory team, and that won't have gone unnoticedಌ by Acosta who is battling for the Moto2 championsh🐭ip this year.
