KTM’s hope to have a fifth bike on the 2024 MotoGP grid has been extinguished.

: “We still have a lot of grands prix ahead of us this year. You can see how many injuries happen all the time.KTM board member Hubert Trunkenpolz said:"The second half of the season counts now. We're not making a decision for the time being.

Asked if Espargaro and Fernandez are in direct competition over one seat, Trunkenpolz replied:"We're still looking at a few races.”"With a total of 42 or even 44 races, we will always need replacement riders in the coming season,"Trunkenpolz said.“With so many competitions, the risk of failure increases. And if we can offer a test rider six wildcards and there is also the option of being used as a substitute rider, those are lucrative incentives.
