Pedrosa gets Jerez MotoGP wildcard for KTM, Espargaro in at Mugello
In 2023, Pedrosa made two wildcards appearances as a test rider for KTM at Spanish GP and San Marino GP, finishing impressively in both races with KTM eyeing further wildcards for 2024. KTM has confirmed Espargaro’s return to MotoGP at the Italian GP in June after a serious accident last season. Both riders could potentially make four more wildcards appearances in 2024 as KTM is permitted a total of six. Yamaha, Honda, and Aprilia are also eligible to field six wildcards each throughout the season according to the new concessions system, while Ducati cannot field any.
