With a spot open in the official team after 2024 and the desire to have another satellite team in the paddock, KTM will analyze its options in the coming months – with sports director Pit Beirer ensuring that he will be very active in exploratory discussions.
The Austrian told SPEEDWEEK.com: ‘We are now open and therefore we will talk to all teams whose contracts with the manufacturer expire after 2024. We will talk to all riders whose contracts expire after 2024‘.
When it comes to riders, however, Beirer emphasized that not everything counts: ‘But we will pay attention and only talk to riders who really want to talk to us. Directing someone with a lot of money does not help, because a rider like that loses confidence in the project at the slightest problem‘.
