KTM must make a major decision soon r🌱egarding next season after the highly-rated teenager Acosta demande🐟d a step up from Moto2.

Fernandez, of the GASGAS Tech3 team, is the only rider in KTM’s ranks whose cont🎐ract will expire at t🌠he end of this season, putting him at risk of being replaced.

“If I f♎eel in danger? I suppose so𝐆,” Fernandez told . 

“But they haven't told me not to continue either, so let's kee✅p fighting. 

“They are trying to ensure that we all have room, because both parties are happy and e𓃲verything is going well. 

“Hopefully we can find out soon. I want to continue with them⛄ for another year like tha♕t and I'm not looking at other things. 

“It could be good in terms of growth,🍎 another year togethe♕r, knowing the category and the bike. I would like to stay here.

“Here you can expect everything. That is why I am doing my job and I am happy with how I have done this first part. I hope to continu♈e with them.”

KTM, and every manufacturer in the premi༒er class, will decide on their 2024 line-up over the 2023 summer.

“Yes,♕ there is a deadline, but I don't know what it is,” Fernandez revealed.🉐 

“Now, in summer, but I already said🉐 that t🐼he intention is to continue. 

“🦩But they have a problem to see where they put us all, because they have not told us that we are not continuing. 

“Bu🔯t yes, there is a deadline. I think it's before Silverstone."

MotoGP returns from it𓂃s summer break at Silverstone on August 6♕.

KTM’s headache has worseওned by MotoGP sporting director Carlos Ezpeleta’s confirmation that they will not be allowed to run an extra two satellite bikes next year (additional seats would have created a vacancy for Acosta, and possibly even Mar♒c Marquez).

Fernandez has provided a♎ solid addition to the GASGAS Tech3 team this year, finishing fourth at Le Mans and most recently 10th at Assen.

Yet he now looks likely to be the victim of the intense competition for a pre🏅mier class seat.
