The manufacturer were reportedly trying to bring the LCR satellite team into their group, creating two spaces for Marquꦫez and Pedro Acosta.

But now Sꦆtefan Pierer, CEO of the Pierer Group which owns KTM, has explained their plan.

• “MotoGP is making the same mistakes that Formula 1ไ made 10 years ago” 
• Joan Mir “in negotiation🍸s” to join Du🦄cati next season

About recruiting Marquez, Pierer told : "I'm not saying it's out of the question. But that doesn't su🦹it us.

"How many🐼 times do you thi꧙nk he’s been offered to us in the last few months?

"This is a stuck situation- he is not entirely innocent. His riding style now doesn't really suit these aerodඣynamically defaced bikes. That's why he falls so often.

"We want to be world champion🌳s one day. But signing a Marquez is not our way. We build the riders ourselves,🍨 from Moto3 to Moto2.

"I also believe in Brad Binder and Jack Miller, who fought for the Moto3 World Championship title with us in 2014 and has now returned♔."

Bind⭕er and Miller are contracted for next season already💮, and so is Tech3 GASGAS rider Pol Espargaro.

However, Espargaro has missed the whole season so far due to iꦜnjuries sustained on the first Friday leading to speculation about his future.

Augusto Fernandez was contracted until the end of this season so, despite his impressive performances, he is clearly at-risk of Acosta who will step up from Moto2 to M🍸otoGP within the🐷 KTM group.

Pierer has insisted that he 🐽will somehow find space for Espargaro, Fernandez and Acosta on KTM machinery in the premier class next season.

He revealed that Fernandez has been given a new deal: "That's why we've already extended his contract. He ♌alread꧟y has a contract. 

"And Pedro Acoꦰsta has one too. And we guarantee that he will🐻 be on a MotoGP KTM in 2024.

"🌄It will all work out. First of all, we have to give Pol another chance to show how well he's recovered. He wasn't there for half 🃏a year. 

"The fact that he will be a test rider is c🌜urrently not an issue. It depends on Pol how he i🍰s doing.

"If he performs as expect💧ed, he will drive a full season next year. We have a contract with him.

"The fact is th🌊at Pedro Acosta will be riding🐓 a MotoGP-KTM in 2024. Wherever that will be.

"And if I need an extrꦉa place, everything will be arranged."

Pierer admitted that𝄹 he is still 👍trying to acquire one of the existing satellite teams.

"Basically, the ꦇGresini team was not ﷺan option for me," he said.

"The current economic situation will not make things any easier for the privat𒅌e MotoGP team🎃s. 

"I hear the second Aprilia team is already having financial dif🐟ficulties; it must be supported b✱y Aprilia.

"One o𝓰r the other, a place will surely fall down. I bet you!"

Pierer said KTM wi⛄ll try to buy any satellite team that is available: “Certainly, if something comes up, we will adopt it. 

"I'm assuming that one or the oth✨er MotoGP spots will become available and that we will compete with all five riders.”

He added: "I'm very concerned that Hon𝓡da will also dro🌌p out after Suzuki."
