Recent weeks have seen rumors suggesting a possible move for Pedro Acosta to a Ducati team in 2026 – potentially Pertamina Enduro VR46.
Red Bull KTM’s start to the season has fallen below expectations, leading to speculation about a potential clause allowing the young Spaniard to exit his Austrian contract early due to results.
However, Acosta’s manager, Albert Valera, made it clear to SPEEDWEEK.com that no such clause exists and that Acosta is not leaving KTM:
– Pedro Acosta has a contract with KTM until 2026, period. There are no performance clauses. That wouldn’t make sense, because measuring performance on both sides is complicated – and sometimes even absurd, as both parties are always trying their best. I will say very clearly: to this day, we have not spoken to anyone about Pedro’s future, let alone negotiate it.
Valera also emphasized that it’s too early to judge performance: ‘There is absolutely no reason to panic. We’ve only had two MotoGP races, and yes, both were disappointing. But it would be wrong to project this for the rest of the season. The first races always have a unique character. It will be very interesting when MotoGP arrives in Europe’.
