Tech3 GasGas rider Pedro Acosta will move up to the factory KTM team for the 2025 MotoGP season, replacing Jack Miller.
The 20-year-old has secured a promotion to KTM’s top squad after just six rounds into his rookie campaign, where he has already secured two grand prix podiums and fought with champions including Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia. 'It was important to me to keep pushing with KTM, and to see the whole project and the story until now and how we have grown in racing,' said Acosta. 'So, it’s nice to carry on for the future: getting in orange is like coming back home.
KTM had already warned that Miller and Fernandez have not been performing as per the marque's expectations, with the two riders currently sitting 15th and 17th in the standings and having scored only 40 points between them compared to Acosta’s tally of 83. The announcement, however, doesn’t necessarily signal the end of the road for Miller at KTM, with the Australian believed to be evaluated for a move in the opposite direction to GasGas.
