It would only be a matter of time before Augusto Fernandez is announced in the ranks of MotoGP for 2023 under the KTM flag, with the GASGAS banner. Good news for the Spaniard who is in the middle of the battle for the Moto2 world title this season? Theoretically yes. But we now have some perspective on this type of advancement which has hardly been successful this year for Remy Gardner and Raul Fernandez. With also a contract of only one year, the same causes can produce the same effects in the same place for Augusto Fernandez. But at least he is now aware of the risks and the need to reveal himself as quickly as possible. Especially since, in his case, there is Pedro Acosta who is preparing for 2024 while being in Honda's crosshairs...
The transfer market has barely ended when, in some cases, plans for 2024 are already being drawn up. At the center of this still nascent debate, we find a Pedro Acosta who is having a discreet first season in Moto2. The reigning Moto3 World Champion, from his first appearance at this level of competition, gives the impression of managing rather than wanting to assert himself. When he begins to slip into anonymity, one gives the impetus to find himself on the podium.
He also experienced the pangs of the injury after motocross training in the middle of a week framed by two Grand Prix weekends, but he was not held accountable for this inappropriate timing, to say the least. And then, behind the scenes, the rumor that he had solid contact with Honda is insistent. And it could only reach the ears of KTM.
Would Augusto Fernandez be chosen to keep Pedro Acosta's place warm?
Especially since the young Spanish prodigy doesn't even deny it. He certainly doesn't confirm it either, but at this level, leaving doubt is already admitting. On this question, we read on Todocircuito that he was questioned in Misano about his relationship with Honda. We read that he blushed before responding: “ my manager Valera told me something. But I knew I was going to stay here since 2021. Valera told me something, but it was not the time to think about it. My time was to think about the recovery after my injury, to think about how to start the second part of the year, to concentrate on preparing well for 2023 by making all the mistakes it takes so that next year , I don't commit them. Whether or not there was a conversation, It was not the moment disassemble ».
Peter Acosta will therefore still be with Ajo in Moto2 in 2023, with the ambition of becoming World Champion. Then 2024 will arrive. Honda, there will theoretically be no space since so much Kidneys which Mir via Marc Marquez have a lease until the end of 2024. At Idemitsu, we only take Japanese. At the house of KTM, Brad Binder, Jack Miller and Pol Espargaró are also assured of their fate until the end of the same year 2024. Except Augusto Fernandez...
