KTM has announced that Acosta will join Brad Binder in their MotoGP team lineup for the 2025 season.
Enea Bastianini is anticipated to make a move to the Tech3 GASGAS team, creating an opening that has gained significant value thanks to Acosta.
"Peter McLaren suggested it was inevitable that he would join the 'official' team, despite claims of having two factory teams."
"Huge sigh of relief for KTM. It's certain that other companies would have discreetly looked into Acosta's contractual status. They would be foolish to ignore it."
"In order to secure the autograph on the document, and to ensure the athlete known as a once-in-a-generation talent is committed for the upcoming years…
"Numerous racers are associated with joining KTM, despite Acosta finalizing an agreement with them."
"Acosta has demonstrated that being a Tech3 GASGAS rider does not limit one's performance, even surpassing that of the main team."
"This has significantly increased interest and attention towards the GASGAS motorcycles for the upcoming year."
"Perhaps individuals are commenting, 'observe Pedro's performance on that motorcycle. KTM also backs that squad in addition to the official team.'"
"He remains the leading KTM competitor in the championship and found himself in a solitary spot this weekend, positioned between the Ducatis and the rest of the field."
"The initial goal is to outperform all others riding the same motorcycle, and he accomplished exactly that during the weekend."
Robert Jones commented on KTM's decision to elevate Acosta, stating, "It was completely obvious."
From the very first round, his skill was unmistakable. Allowing him to be overlooked would have been a grave error.
"It's unfortunate for Jack Miller. Everyone is fond of him. However, the outcomes don't support any decision other than having Acosta take his place."
Acosta stood out as the sole KTM rider in Q2, uniquely challenging the Ducatis and making efforts to overtake Marc Marquez to add excitement to the race.
"Throughout the season, his displays on the field have been outstanding. He's demonstrated a resilience akin to Marc's, quickly recovering and moving past any setbacks he encounters."
"He's unyielding, exactly what KTM requires to advance the project, positioning the motorcycle where it must be."
"Demonstrating the capabilities we believe KTM possesses in the bike."
"Similar to Aprilia, we believe the motorcycle has promise, yet the question remains: why isn't this being demonstrated? Acosta, however, is proving its capabilities."
He's on track for a victory this season. Even if it eludes him, he'll be in the running next season and the year after.
Securing Acosta is a significant achievement for KTM, enabling them to strategize with the GASGAS team.
"Acosta's influence significantly boosts the allure of joining the team, meaning KTM likely has a wide selection of riders to choose from."
