Espargaro demoted from Gas Gas for 2024 for KTM sensation Acosta
Pedro Acosta will make his debut in MotoGP in 2024 with the Tech3 Gas Gas team, replacing Pol Espargaro, who will be demoted to a non-racing role by KTM. There has been speculation for months about the line-up of the team. Initially, it was believed that KTM would expand its grid presence, but this plan was rejected by series promoter Dorna. Acosta hinted in the media that he might have to stay in Moto2 for another season while KTM sought a solution. Ultimately, Espargaro will continue to be a prominent member of the MotoGP program in a different capacity. KTM’s director of motorsport, Pit Beirer, expressed gratitude to Espargaro for his contributions and stressed that Acosta and rookie Augusto Fernandez will be the focus of the team’s efforts in 2024.
