KTM have denied ever holding “concrete talks” to sign 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez.

Marquez’s future is f🍎inally secured af𒐪ter he penned a deal to join the factory Ducati team next season.

As his next move was negotiated, KTM we𒁃re credi🧸ted with an interest in luring him into their ranks.

In🅘stead, they announced Pedro Acosta would progress from their Tech3 GASGAS project to t𝐆heir official team.

“The contract renewal with Acos𝐆ta has been our top priority in recent times,” Pierer Mobility Group board member Hubert Trunkenpolz told .

“There has been no negotℱiation with Marqꦐuez before 2025.

“We have never talked in a concrete wa♑y with him, because we have always given priority t♏o Acosta.

“We have done everything possible to secure A༒costa for 2025 and 2026.

“For the period a𒁃🦩fter that, there are various options on how to continue with him.”

Acosta has soared into the premier class in a stu✤nning rookie campaign so far.

Acosta has secured two Sunday podiums and, after seven rounds, is fifth in the MotoGP standings.🗹 He is the highest-placed non-Ducati rider.

Still aged just 20, he will displace Jack Millꦓer and sit alongside Brad Binder on official machinery next season.

“We want to give Acosta the space and opportunity to become an absolut꧂e super൩star with us,” Trunkenpolz said.

“🍸This would not be possible if he had Marquez in th🎃e garage next door.

“We do not need all this attention.

“Acosta is also pursuing 🅷the goal of becoming MotoGP champion as long as Marquez is s𓆏till in the race.

“We will actively support him in🐠 achieving this goal.”

Marquez and Acosta have occasionally duelled on track this season, a fascinating proposition of the old maste🔯r against the new talent.

Next season, the stakes will raise wh🌸en both riders move o🐬nto official bikes with added factory support.

Their buജdding on-track rivalry could include a title battlꦏe in 2025.
