Pedro Acosta said he doesn't expect KTM's reliability issues to be resolved before the German GP at Sachsenring in July. Though already confirmed to move to factory Ducati, Acosta spoke candidly about the depth of the problems facing the current KTM squad.
Acosta flat-out saying 'nothing's possible before the Sachsenring' — KTM's reliability issue must run pretty deep. No matter how fast you are, it means nothing if the machine can't finish the race. Speaking this honestly with his move already confirmed is a mark of integrity as a current rider. I want to see how he handles the rest of the season.

So Acosta's already got his factory Ducati seat locked in, an early call.
Until Sachsenring, how many rounds are actually left before then?
I believe there are still a few rounds until the German GP in July, so a stretch of gritting-it-out races is probably ahead.
A reliability issue is bound to affect race strategy too, so it's the kind of information other teams would be paying attention to.
Speaking candidly about his current team's issues even with his Ducati move already set could be read as a sign of real responsibility.
'Can't hope for it before Sachsenring' is a fairly pessimistic outlook.
