The game of musical chairs seems to have stopped within the Pierer Mobility AG group, whose leaders have cast doubt on their ability to simply count, by signing five riders in MotoGP for 2024, while they only have four RC16s on the starting grid. But we had to make room for Pedro Acosta and, from India, where the Spaniard expressed his dismay at this situation, to the point of wondering he was not going to repeat his career in Moto2, it was time to reassure him. Especially with a Honda factory ready to do anything to mislead the next departure of Marc Marquez…
Pierer Mobility AG has decided who will have to give up their place to Peter Acosta. speedweek gives the information with confidence and we know that between the site and Mattighofen, the links are very close. Who will have to stand and wait for better days while the other four sit down before the music ends? The first theory was thatAugusto Fernandez disappears, then Pol Espargaro was in the hot seat before the mistigri arrived in the box Jack Miller. Finally, KTM returned to his first idea: Augusto Fernandez will be placed in reserve.
Augusto Fernandez ticked all the boxes this year in MotoGP, but he was apparently no match for Pedro Acosta
The good performances of the Spaniard, still reigning Moto2 World Champion and only rookie of the season, who finished solid seventh in the last competition in Japan, and claims a fourth place as best result, acquired in France, do not will not have convinced the Mattighofen staff. At the same time, the head of Pol Espargaro was taken off the block.
More Augusto Fernandez will not be abandoned. It will remain in reserve, will test with Pedrosa and will make Wildcards as replacements in case of injuries, which is no longer really an exception in the category since the adoption of the new format. However, Augusto Fernandez should not only be stripped of its GASGAS. He will also leave his number 37 à Peter Acosta.
However, it would be moved back to jump better since, for service rendered, Augusto Fernandez would find Tech3 in 2025, the year Acosta would join Brad Binder among officials. Jack Miller can therefore already suspect what awaits him. Finally, that's it Marc Marquez doesn't break out either after a year spent at Gresini Ducati...
