One of th💝e brightest talents in the sport, Pedro Acosta has been referred to as the new Marc Marquez.

Still only 19 years old, the Spani💟sh st෴arlet is expected to step up into MotoGP within KTM in 2024.

He is fighting at the front of Moto2, and 🐻impressing everyone in the paddock🐎, this season.

KTM's despe⛦ration to keep ho𒉰ld of Acosta meant that they went to great lengths to rearrange their 2024 plans.

The manufacturer's initial plans to add a fifth bike to t𝓀he grid, or to buy an existing s😼atellite team to facilitate more bikes, failed.

KTM were left with five contracted riders, including Acosta, for four bikes. But the teenager has got the no🌌d to step up into the premier class, fending off interest from rival manufacturers.
