But the news leaves an even bigger question mark over Australian Jack Miller’s future, as the MotoGP musical chairs continues.
The Red Bull KTM rider will lose his current seat in 2025, with Spanish prodigy Pedro Acosta joining Brad Binder in orange, while Maverick Vinales and Enea Bastianini will join KTM’s re-branded second team.
There are still seats remaining for the 2025 grid, but Miller’s recent drop in form means nothing is guaranteed.
Rumour has it, however, that he could be thrown a lifeline by Gresini Ducati, the team which currently has Marc Marquez third in the championship standings. Marquez will leave Gresini at the conclusion of 2024 for a spot on the factory Ducati team.
Miller left the factory Ducati team at the end of 2022 to join KTM on a two-year deal.
Other notable riders currently without a seat include Alex Marquez, Alex Rins, Joan Mir, Miguel Olivera, Taka Nakagami, Raul Fernandez, Augusto Fernandez, Franco Morbidelli, and Fabio Di Gianntonio.
There are rumours that BMW’s World Superbike champion Toprak Razgatlioglu could also join the MotoGP ranks, while American Moto2 gun Joe Roberts is a chance for promotion.
In short, the race to earn a spot on the 2025 MotoGP grid is tight.
