One of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta’s top options, if he leaves KTM, have been﷽ dismissed as a realistic destination.

The saga surrounding Acosta is at the epicentre of the MotoGP rider market this year.

He is contracted to KTM until the end o♑f next year, providing a major complication if he seeks an exit.

But Acosta, and his manager Albert Valera, have continually been linked with leaving his current manufacturer who have seen their competitiveness wane this yeℱar.

'The problem' with signing Pedro Acosta pinpointed

VR46 are an obvious option. Valentino Rossi sees Acosta as the man who could deny Marc Marq💯uez another MotoGP title in 2026, which would either tie or beat Rossi’s own 𓃲tally.

Rossi’s team also have access to one factory-spec Ducati, currently in the hands of Fabio di Giannantonio, ▨which they could tempt Acosta with.

But they have b꧙een shot down as a realistic alternative for 𒊎Acosta in 2026.

“Lots of talk swir💦ling around. Nobody 🧸knows,” TNT Sports’ Gavin Emmett said.

“But the general talk around the paddock is that they are looking for𒐪 a way out.

“The problem is that the release clause in hಌis KTM contract is very, very high.

“People say VR46? There is no way on this Earth that VR46 wi♑ll pay €6m, 🦂or whatever the talk is, to get someone out of a contract.

“That’s before you pay them.

“I could see a factory Honda going for it.”

Michael Laverty added: “He’s got a good man on the case, Albert Valer🍒a.

“He will be working hard,💦 trying to negotiate something.

“Honda have the resources and the cheque 🎶book could get opened.”

Honda will also reportedly 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:make a big🌞-money off𒐪er for Toprak Razgatlioglu.

The once-mighty Japanese manufacturer dreams of a formida൩ble rider line-up, twinning Razgatlioglu with Acosta.

F🌺or now, they have Joan Mir and Luca Marini on their factory bikes.

Johann Zarco, the LCR rid⛎er, has often impressed on a Ho🐼nda.

Sud𒊎denly, after years of being below par, the performances of the Hondas ⛄this season has made them an attractive destination for 2026 and beyond.
