Tech3 GasGas Racing has announced that Pol Espargaro will be moved aside for the 2024 MotoGP season to make way for Pedro Acosta\u2019s arrival.
Espargaro signed to return to KTM and Tech3 for the 2023 season following two difficult years at Honda, following his first stint with the Austrian marque from 2017 to 2020. The eight-time podium finisher's season was immediately halted by a serious incident in the second practice session for the Portuguese Grand Prix in March, in which he suffered multiple fractures.
“We had an important and difficult decision to make for our GasGas team for 2024,” KTM motorsport boss Pit Bierer said. “Augusto has made impressive first steps in MotoGP and we are totally convinced he has the speed and the intelligence to keep on progressing. “Pedro is a very special talent who has already won so much, so quickly and 2024 will be about him learning to take the next step with the big boys in MotoGP.
