Augusto Fernández has not yet been confirmed as a rider for the GasGas Tech3 team in MotoGP in 2024, even though it is the only vacant seat in the KTM teams, and Pedro Acosta has yet to be placed.
Asked in a press conference if the uncertainty regarding his future is becoming an unwanted distraction, the Spaniard highlighted that he has a contract signed for 2024:
– For sure it doesn’t help, but I have my contract signed, so I have the same news everybody knows: in theory I have the ride for the next year, so I want to believe that and focus on my job in 2023 and finish the year in the best possible way, bringing some good results until the end of the season. And hopefully we can get the ride again in 2024.
