Jorge Lorenzo gives his verdict on the future of Fabio Quartararo and Pedro Acosta
Jorge Lorenzo believes that the future of Pedro Acosta will be influenced by the performance of his manufacturer in 2026.
Acosta had issues with the KTM RC16 in the early part of 2025, lagging behind the Ducati Desmosedici and sometimes even teammate Maverick Vinales.
Despite his own improved form in the latter part of the season, Acosta finished his second MotoGP season without a win, emphasizing the need for KTM to enhance their bike in 2026.
Lorenzo suggests that Acosta’s decision to continue with KTM hinges on achieving victories in the upcoming season.
Fabio Quartararo also faced challenges with Yamaha’s performance in 2025, despite being the top Yamaha rider and scoring more points than his peers, leading to speculation about a potential manufacturer change for 2027.
