“No way” verdict on Pedro Acosta’s next move amid “talk around the paddock”
"The problem" with signin🧔g Pedro Acosta is highlig♎hted

One of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta’s top options, if he leaves KTM, have been dismis👍sed ▨as a realistic destination.
The saga surrounding Acosta is at the epicentre of the MotoGP rider market this year.
He is contracted to KTM until the end of next year, providing✅ a major complication if he seeks an exit.
But Acosta, and his man📖ager Albert Valera, have continually been linked with leaving h🌺is current manufacturer who have seen their competitiveness wane this year.
'The problem' with signing Pedro Acosta pinpointed
VR46 are an obvious option. Valentino Rossi sees Acosta as the man🤡 who could deny Marc Marquez another MotoGP title in 2026, wꦇhich would either tie or beat Rossi’s own tally.
Rossi’s team also have access to one factory-spec Ducati, currently in the🍌 hands of Fabio di Giannantonio, which they could tempt Acosta with.
But the🔯y have been shot down as a realistic alternative for Acosta in 2026.
“Lots of talk swirling around. Nobody knows,” TNT Sports’ไ Gavin Emmett said.
“But the general talk around the paddock is that they are lookinﷺg for a way out.
“The problem is that the r𒆙elease clause in his KTM 💧contract is very, very high.
“People say VR46? There is no way on thi🌠s Earth that VR💯46 will pay €6m, or whatever the talk is, to get someone out of a contract.
“That’s before you pay them.
“I could see a factory Honda going for it.”
Mi♔chael Laverty add๊ed: “He’s got a good man on the case, Albert Valera.
🌳“He will be working hard, trying to negotiate🍒 something.
🌟“Honda have the resources and the cheque book could get opened.”
Honda will also reportedly 168澳洲5最新开奖结🦩果:make a big-mon🔯ey offer for Toprak Razgatlioglu.
The once-mighty Japanese manufacturer dreams of a formidable rider l💫ine-up, twinning Razgatlioglu with Acosta.
For now, they have Joan Mir and Luca Marini on thꦗeir factory bikes.
Joha🥃nn Zarco, the LCR rider, has often impressed on a Honda.
Suddenly, after yeꦡars of being be𒁃low par, the performances of the Hondas this season has made them an attractive destination for 2026 and beyond.
