| Pedro Acosta’s Manager Speaks Out on Honda MotoGP Rumors Amid KTM Crisis. |
Pedro Acosta, the young Spanish sensation currently racing in MotoGP, is once again grabbing headlines. With KTM facing a rough start to the 2025 season, rumors about Acosta potentially switching to Honda have started swirling. However, Acosta’s manager, Albert Valera, has stepped forward to set the record straight.
KTM’s Struggles Fuel Transfer Speculation
The 2025 season hasn’t been kind to KTM. Apart from struggling with performance issues, the team is also battling financial problems. This uncertainty has naturally led to speculation about Acosta’s future. Though Acosta is under contract with KTM until the end of 2025, talks linking him to Honda and even VR46 Ducati are getting louder.
Several insiders believe Honda could be Acosta’s most realistic destination if he chooses to move. With Honda’s strong financial backing and a spot open for the 2026 season, the match seems logical. But despite the mounting rumors, Valera insists there’s no rush to make any decisions.
Focus on Fixing KTM’s Situation
Speaking during the Spanish Grand Prix practice session, Valera made it clear that their priority remains with KTM.
“For now, it’s too early to talk about any other options,” Valera told MotoGP reporters. “We are working hard to turn the situation around in the upcoming European races. Our focus is on helping KTM get back on track.”
He emphasized that patience and optimism are key during tough times. According to Valera, KTM is committed to improving their performance, and Acosta’s camp is fully behind that mission.
Acosta Believes in KTM’s Potential
Despite KTM’s rough start, Pedro Acosta remains positive. He understands the importance of the European races, especially the ones starting with Jerez, for evaluating the true potential of their bike.
“Testing in Europe is crucial for every rider,” Acosta said after making it into Q2 during Jerez practice. “European races give us a real idea of where the bike stands. We’re optimistic and believe KTM will step up.”
Acosta added that upcoming tests at Jerez and Aragon would be crucial for tracking KTM’s progress. He praised the team’s efforts and expressed confidence that better results are within reach.
Long Road Ahead, But Full of Hope
Acosta acknowledges that challenges lie ahead but believes in the project.
“We know we need to do better,” Acosta shared. “KTM is working extremely hard to fix things, and they’re the first ones who want to see better results. We just need to stay patient, trust the process, and keep pushing forward.”
KTM’s performance in the next few months will be critical not just for the team but also for Acosta’s future decisions. If improvements come, staying loyal to KTM could still be the best move for him.
Honda Move Still Just a Rumor – For Now
While rumors about Honda won’t go away anytime soon, Valera made it clear that Acosta’s focus is fully on KTM. Honda may be an attractive option someday, especially as they search for young talents to lead them back to glory. But as of today, no serious talks have taken place.
KTM, on the other hand, needs to deliver better results fast. Retaining a rising star like Acosta could be vital for their long-term MotoGP success.
As the 2025 season unfolds, all eyes will be on Pedro Acosta — not just for his racing skills, but also for the crucial career decisions that could shape the next era of MotoGP.
