‘If the next generation develops quickly, we might get a problem’

“I don’t want to say right now but let’s hope in the future it is a luxury problem to have ꦐmaybe two good rider lining up [to move to MotoGP]. But I feel that we are not in a position to talk spoiled like that,” said KTM motorsports director Pit Beirer.

“Now we have four riders in MotoGP and we need to succeed [with them]. 𒅌We want to make another step with Brad [Binder[ and we are sure Jack [Miller] will make us better, [then] to have Pol [Espargaro] back and now bring Augusto [Fernandez] up.

“At the mom🌼ent I feel the package is very strong with these four riders but, yeah, if the next generation is developing very quick then we might get a problem🐻 very soon.

“At one moment the older ridꦓers will stop or leave, it’s normal. Let’s face that positive problem once it’s there.”
