Moto2 champion Acosta will make a high-profile step up into MotoGP in 2024 and has been named alongside Augusto 🌸Fernandez, and instead of Pol E♚spargaro, in the Tech3 GASGAS team.

Miller and🎀 Brad Binder have contracts to remain on their factory bikes next year.

But team memꦕber꧟s within KTM and Tech3 GASGAS still consider it realistic that Acosta may take Miller’s place, report.

Acosta, still just 19, is rated as a phenomenal talent who KTM were so desperate to keep withi𓄧n their ranks.

Miller is in his ninth MotoGP season, his f⭕irst since swapping Ducati for KTM, but has been outperformed by Binder.

Miller is ❀ninth in the MotoGP standings, Binder fourth, heading ꦦinto this weekend in Qatar.

Pit Beirer, Motorsport Director for KTM, had told Speedweek: “The cuꦇrrent plan is that we'll see Pedro𒆙 and Augusto on the GASGAS and Jack and Brad on the KTM."

But his wওording leaves room to possibly change h💯is mind.

He added: “With Brad and Jack, we have two guys with a lot of experience at Red Bull KTM. They are also the first to receive new parts to develop and sort out. Augusto is entering his second season at GASGAS, and Pedro is expected to come into MotoGP for the first year as a rookie without pressure and work there i🌸n peace. 

“When you're on the grid in orange at Red Bull KTM, maybe that's🌄 a certain kind of pressure.&nbs❀p;

“That's why we think it's the r🍌ight way to start with Pedro in his first year at Herve Poncharal with his great experience and his team with a lot of calm. 

“After that, we will set the cour𒐪se for the future at an early stage."
