Augusto Fernandez: “I have a KTM contract, 100% signed, but I don’t know anything else!”
KTM currently have five contracted riders, incl𓄧uding Pedro Acosta who will graduate from Moto2 next year, but only four 🎃bikes on the grid.
They are openly trying to acquire an exi💞sting satellite team although that might not happen until 2025, leaving them with an problem to solve.
Fernandez was asked if his future might be confirmed at this weekend’s Austria𝔍n MotoGP: “Hopefully, yes. Let’s see.
“Normally it’🥀s always announced here. Hopefully we will know more about our future here.
“It should be.”
: “I have a con🍌tract and it’s 100% ꧃signed, but I don’t know anything else.“I think we’🅷ll he🥂ar soon but I don’t know. We’ll see.”
Fernande🅘z insisted about KTM’s 2024 bikes: “I have one, I don’t know where, but 𒐪I have one!”
Fernandez and 🌠Pol Espargaro ride for Tech3 GASGAS, KTM’s satellite team, while🐽 Jack Miller and Brad Binder make up the factory duo.
Acosta’s arrival next year means KTM are trying to create new wayꦜs to add a fifth bike to the grid.
It was i𒁃nitially assumed that Acosta would take Fernandez’s place, but KTM have moved to ex🐓tend the contract of the Tech3 GASGAS rider.
Fernandez is 13th in the MotoGP standings a🉐nd has impressed in his rookie year, heading into KTM’s home race.
