We're here once again, folks, talking about the rumors that KTM's Pedro Acosta is leaving the outfit for greener pastures. Yes, we've covered these rumors before as the Austrian MotoGP team just can't seem to quell them. But, as with everything that's gone on in KTM-land in recent months, they're not exactly sending their best.
The most recent denials of said rumors come from team boss Pit Beirer who's remained steadfast in his denials that the rising superstar is unhappy enough to leave and break his contract. But with Acosta's manager fueling the fire, as well as the team's lackluster pre-season development, followed by its middling season—to put it generously—I don't think anyone is really into believing Beirer's denials at this point.
I mean, we've been here before. We've talked about how Beirer has stretched the truth when he told the press that the team was fine, but then it came out that it absolutely wasn't, and they're likely leaving the sport. KTM is likely still looking for an interested party to take the team over in 2026.
