Pedro Acosta will replace Jack Miller in KTM’s factory MotoGP line-up in 2025.
At the Italian Grand Prix this weekend, KTM officially announced that rookie star Pedro Acosta will be joining their factory team next year on a “multi-year” deal. This move confirms that Jack Miller will not be continuing with the team.

KTM’s motorsports director, Pit Beirer, expressed excitement about Acosta’s unique talent and strong mentality, foreseeing a bright future for him in MotoGP. Acosta, described as a “generational talent” by team manager Francesco Guidotti, has signed an initial two-year deal with KTM, although there may be opportunities for extension beyond 2027. This announcement cements Acosta’s position in KTM’s lineup for 2025, while discussions continue regarding other rider placements for the upcoming seasons.
