Official: KTM confirm GASGAS 2024 plans – and name the rider who will miss out
Acosta will be promoted from Moto2 and will team up with Augusto Fernandez. Jack Miller and Brad Binder, the factory pair, will remain unchanged. However, veteran rider Espargaro has been confirmed as the rider who will miss out on a full-time seat due to KTM’s requirement to fit five riders on four bikes. KTM tried to secure a fifth bike but was unsuccessful, so Espargaro will likely race as a wildcard and serve as a substitute in case of injury. Augusto Fernandez will continue with the GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3 squad for his second season, while the young and talented Pedro Acosta will join the MotoGP grid for the 2024 season. Pol Espargaro will still play a vital role in the Pierer Mobility Motorsport project, offering support to young athletes and contributing to the MotoGP program.
