168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Augusto Fernandez’s performances have been criticised by the KTM boss, as he considers whether to dis🌊h out new contracts.

Factory rider Miller and Tech3 GASGAS’ Fernandez are both being outshone by respec🐈tive teammates Brad Binder and Pedro Acosta.

While Binder and Acosta are tied to the manufacturer next year, the💃 places of Miller and Fernandez are not guaranteed.

Now, the KTM motorsport director Pit Beirer has offered some stark words about ไtheir🦋 future.

“It is clear that with Brad and Pedro we have two riders who are fantastic, in whom we believe extremely and in whom we have a lot of confidence for the future,” he told  when asked about the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2025 MotoGP rider line-up.

“My wish hasn't changed:𒁃 I want to continue marching with ಞour four riders.

“But your question is completely justified. Because to be honest: the current performances of Jack and Augusto are a bit too little for a MotoGP plac🅘e, which is so valuable.

“We are already in a phase wher♈e we still have time, but not much.

“Augusto and Jack don't need to take giant steps, b💧ut they need to be small steps forward to stabilise the pack▨age.

“That is still my wish.

“Of course there is movement in the rider market and otheಌr really good-sounding names are calling us and that mak♋es you think.

“We are not yet in t♔he aggressive phase on the bidding front where we are h✨aving any battles with Ducati or Aprilia. But it's an exciting moment.”

The rider market is dominated by Ducati’s decision between Marc Marquez, Enea Bastianini or Jorge Martin for their facꦦtory seat.

The fall-out could includ🐷e KTM, or Aprilia, approaching whoever misses out on the Ducati.

Meanwhile, Miller could have a🧸nother option ⛄at Honda who would value his experience to help drive their struggling project forwards.

Mil🌜ler finished 2023, his first year with KTM, 🎶in 11th while teammate Binder was fourth.

KTM showed a lot of faith in both Miller and Fernandez last year, when it became clear that Acosta wanted a promotion from Moto2ꦡ.

They demoted Pol Espargaro, and chose to extend Fernandez's contract, i𝓀n a huge boost to the younger man.

Miller was also kept in his factory role despite the obvious potenti🦩al of Acosta.

KTM 𝓀have also insisted that they will not swap Miller an🦄d Acosta mid-season despite the young Spaniard's brilliance.
