Pedro Acosta’s hope for 2024 KTM seat depends on Pol Espargaro’s recovery

A crash at the opening weekend of 2023 lefไt GASGAS Tech3 rider Espargaro with jaw, back a🐻nd lung problems.
He hasn’t raced at all this year, as a result, although he is ♈a❀iming to make a comeback at one of the next three grands prix.
Espargaro has conceded that he was forced to ꩵ𒀰consider retirement when he saw the toll that his injuries took on his family.
His ability to successfully come back in the second half ♚of 2023 will allow 💧KTM to make their final decision on Acosta’s future, report.
Teenager Acosta has thrilled in Moto2 th🉐is season but KTM motorsport director Pit Beirer wants to k๊eep him in that series for 2024, too.

Beirer wants to keep the s🅺ame four ꧟MotoGP riders for next season, he confirmed.
Espargaro is alr🅷eady contracted for 2024 so the only concern𝔍 over his future surrounds his recovery from his substantial injuries.
His teammate Augusto Fernandez is contracted until the end of 2023 with an option to extend and, after his brilliance at the French MotoGP, his future should no♏t be inꦕ doubt.
A💙costa is in KTM’s mind for a MotoGP seat in 20🦩25, the report says.
