Could a sensational prediction pitting 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez on an MV Agusta have crept one step closer?

Pierer Mobility Group, the parent company of KTM, have now become the majority sha📖reholder in MV Agusta.

They have acquired a 50.1% stake 🥃in the historic brand, adding them to a portfolio which includes KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS.

The new CEO of the iconic (but struggling) MV Agusta brand is Hubert Tr🥃unkenpolz. He is on the board of Pierer Mobilit🦋y 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 areꦓ in the proces🍸s of trying to expand their current presence of four bikes on the 2024 grid.

Factory duo Brad Binder and Jack Miller aဣre supplemented by Tech3 GASGAS’ Pedro Acosta and Augusto Fernandez, but KTM want more.

Last year they enquired unsuccessfully with Dorna about adding extra bikes to the grid, and with existin💯g satellite teams about coming across into their gro🐻up.

KTM are reportedly among the teams talking to VR46, who are decid🅷ing whether to leaveꦆ or stay with Ducati.

Could KTM now have tꦛhe perfect route into a fifth and a sixth ꦏbike with MV Agusta?

"I don't rule out the possibility that we will enter MotoGP as a separate brand with MV Agusta in 2027," Stefan Piere🌌r told in December.

MV Agusta are a historic MotoGP manufacturer despite withdrawing in 1976, after𝓡 38 riders’ championships.

Giacomo Agostini, Mike Hailwood, Phil Read and John Surtees ar🧸e amon🔥g the legendary names to have represented MV Agusta.

The bra🐽nd made a brief and low-key return in 2019 in Moto2 until the project with Forward Racing abr𒁃uptly ended.

But now with new financial bac🐈king and under new ownership, MV Agusta retains the name and reputation to make a splash in motorcycle racing again.

Especially i♉f a star like Marquez was recruited to front ꩲthe project.

The eight-time world champion who swapped Honda for Ducati is only tied down for one year, and his future⭕ is up for grabs next year again.

Marquez and KTM share Red Bu🍷ll as an influential sponsor and he could 🦩yet be approached by the factory team for 2025.

Last year☂ Ricard Jove reported for : "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 marke𝐆ting exercise if it is achieved.

🧸"That's where the sh🦂ots of the future go or that's where they will go. This is my opinion based on certain information, but it is my opinion."

Things have changed since꧋ then. Marquez joined D𒊎ucati, and now KTM have acquired MV Agusta.

There would need to be regulatory hurdles jumped which incluඣde proving that KTM and MV Agusta are developed and homologated separately.

N🔯ew MotoGP regulations come into effect in 2027, and KTM clearly have big 🍸plans.

Does a fantasy alignment with Marquez make sense?
