Ok guys here me out I think I know what's going on in the MotoGP silly season rn
So the Alex Rins to yamaha deal looks very set to go ahead (massive w for yamaha fans) so that leaves a seat at LCR
KTM wanted LCR but Lucio Cecchinello said no because they still have another year contacted to honda and they want to honour it
So KTM are going to offer them Augusto Fernandez (who's pretty good) on loan to LCR so that they have a foot in the door next year and can try again to get LCR to ktms. They'll also probably pay Fernandez extra for this
This then means they have the space for Acosta at GasGas (bc he is the priority over Fernandez for KTM) and they don't have to pay out any contracts
In a few weeks time I will either look like a genius or like I'm crazy but only time will tell
If you think changing maps and dial positions in F1 was complicated. KTM is in their own world. 5 buttons with 3 positions each one and 2 levers to make the mappings
