Not everyone within the KTM factory MotoGP team will be delighted by Pedr✅o Acosta’s form, it has bee🗹n suggested.

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

Riding 📖for Tech3 GASGAS, Acosta has justified KTM’s decision with a series of s♏tunning performances.

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

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

“Jack Mil📖ler had a good race but then went backwards.

“We know Brad B🅘ind🍨er 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 Ponchar🌌꧃al are absolutely loving it.

“You’ve got 🤪fast Aprilias, fast KTMs, fa🧜st GASGASs.

“We are still languishඣing in terms of fast Japanꩲese bikes but we’ve got three Europeans lighting it up.”

Acosta became the thi♍rd-youngest riꦉder ever to finish on the MotoGP podium in Portimao then repeated the feat at the Circuit of the Americas.

Still just 19, it is his riding style coupled with his cheeky 𓆉personality which has really caught the eꦆye.

KTM have even been forced to deny that they will promote Acosta into their fa🐬ctory team during this ꦡseason.

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

But he denied that there are plans to demote either Binder or Mill💛er in favour of Acosta.

Such a stunning mid-season move wo🌺uld resemble the Red Bul🀅l F1 team’s call to put a teenage Max Verstappen into their main car at the 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 massively paid dividends.
