The financial crisis hitting KTM could well have consequences on the performance of the MotoGP RC16 prototype in 2025.
Coming to light at the end of November, the serious financial problems affecting KTM have already led to several changes in the company, and this will continue in the coming weeks. We wondered if the evolution of the MotoGP prototype, the KTM RC16, would be impacted. This will be the case, affirm our colleagues from Motorsport Spain.
The development of the Austrian motorcycle could in fact be frozen, at least until the Sepang test scheduled for early February. Not good news for Pedro Acosta, Brad Binder, Enea Bastianini and Maverick Viñales, who will be the brand's four drivers in 2025.
Rumors are rife regarding the possibility of playing the 2025 season. “We will be in MotoGP next year and the year after”affirmed Hubert Trunkenpolz in Barcelona, mid-November. KTM has a contract with MotoGP world championship promoter Dorna Sports and is due to remain in the category until 2026. New regulations will then come into force in 2027.
