MotoGP's Pedro Acosta has confirmed he is leaving KTM to join Marc Marquez at the factory Lenovo Ducati team from 2027. Explaining the switch, the 22-year-old said, 'I already gave [KTM] the chance... I arrived with a bike that was in development, and I am still with a bike that is in development,' acknowledging the move could badly backfire against an unbeaten teammate.

Having watched this paddock up close for years, this move makes total sense to me. Acosta flat out saying the bike is 'still in development' after three years — that's real frustration talking. Choosing to sit next to Marquez is basically walking into a fight you might lose on purpose.

Bike stuck 'in development' for 3 years straight — that's bad for KTM.

Choosing to sit next to an unbeaten teammate takes guts.

Giving up after 3 years is rough for KTM to hear.

But sitting next to Marquez sounds like actual hell honestly.
