MotoGP: Fermin Aldeguer could put the brakes on Pedro Acosta in the transfer market

Pedro Acosta thought he had time like Raul Fernandez, but that was without counting on Fermin Aldeguer who should sign quickly in MotoGP.

It only took a Grand Prix in Argentina to wake up the MotoGP headhunters who flocked to the hero of Termas de Rio Hondo, Fermin Aldeguer. We don't know how many are left in Pedro Acosta's entourage, but the Speed ​​Up driver has just given him a whirl, being even younger, because he is not yet 17 years old... The fact remains that he is well supervised since it is from this entourage that we learn that he has on the table two proposals from two factories to access the premier category. But it will be for 2024, since you have to be 18 years old to be eligible...

The entourage of Fermin Aldeguer confirmed to have two offers MotoGP for 2024. Specifically, it has two concrete agreements on the table from two first-class factories. The Spaniard made history in Argentina by kicking Jorge Lorenzo of the precocity record to achieve a pole position in the intermediate category of the Grands Prix. He also beat on this register Marc Marquez for Moto2 alone.

Aldeguer's manager, Hector Faubel, confirmed that the Speed ​​Up rider has two official deals on the table with two MotoGP factories. Speaking to MotoGP journalist Jack Appleyard at the Circuit of the Americas, the former 125cc Grand Prix winner said thatAldeguer would remain in Moto2 next season, but is evaluating offers from two factories for 2024.

« Right now we have a lot of possibilities" , threw Faubel. “ We will listen to the offers but we remain calm, he is still very young. Two factories made us an offer and each satellite team contacted us. Next year, for sure, we will stay in Moto2. We both decided to stay because we need another year of experience. Minimum we will do this year and next year ».

Hector Faubel: “ it's crazy, they all want Fermin Aldeguer« 

Faubel adds: " it's crazy : energy drinks, helmets, gloves, boots, leathers, everyone contacts me. They all want Fermin ». Aldeguer remains under contract with the team Luca Boscoscuro until the end of the 2 Moto2023 World Championship, but definitely looks set to move up to the premier class the following year. But where will the remarkable young man, not even 17 years old, end up? It is understood that HRC was the only premier factory not to have contacted Aldeguer representatives ahead of this weekend's Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas, making them unlikely to have tabled a bid.

KTM and now Yamaha both have Moto2 talent programs, which could help the Spaniard's development in the intermediate class before moving him up. Aprilia is she preparing a signing to bring her growing project into a new era? Ducati could add another talented youngster to its plethora of emerging stars, while Suzuki won't be afraid to select a Moto2 rookie for his factory outfit. To be continued… But in no time Raul fernandez et Pedro Acosta have suddenly become old!
