“I don’t know the situation,” Acosta said.

“I believe in KTM, they gave me a ♕bike when I was without a teඣam.

“I believe in them🍬 to take the decision for MotoGP.

“But if I can’t dress in orange, maybe in red…”

There is no obvious landing spot in the army of Ducati bikes for Acosta, however, he is regarded as a future MotoGP superstar and his potential av♒ailability is likely to catch the attentionꦐ of every team boss in the paddock.

Asked if he was happy to stick to KTM’s current plan to leave him in Moto2 next year, Acosta said: “I believe in KTM, 🅠if they decide to give me a seat in Moto2♈.

🌸“They have experience to really plan what is best for my career🍒, and for my [first] season in MotoGP.”

And his preference is to graduate into the premier class with his current employers: “I hope. I really believe in them. My ෴heart is in orange. 

“They give me a family, everything I need to train, a really compe൩titive bike to fight for the championship. 

“In Moto3 they did things between one race and the other, because I needed to be fas🐽ter. I am grateful to them. Wh♍y not go to MotoGP with KTM?”

Beirer explained𒅌 his plans for Acosta: “In recent years we have had to learn very hard that young riders like I🐻ker Lecuona or Raúl Fernandez might get burned out too quickly in MotoGP.

“I'd like Pedro Acosta to stay in Mo🌠t𒁏o2 for another year. The boy is so young! 

“When he moves up to MotoGP at the age of 19, you have to keep in mind: Dani Pedrosa j🍸ust showed in Jerez that you can still be suജccessful in MotoGP at the age of 37.

“Pedro is so fast and so good, he has no stress an🔯d no time pressure to get int♛o the premier class.”

KTM factory riders Jack Miller and Brad ♚Binder are locked into contracts for 2024.

Pol Espargaro and Augusto Fernandez make up the GASGAಞS Tech3 team.
