Since arriving in MotoGP in 2017, KTM has been progressing every year, getting closer and closer to the top of the premier class. In 2024, the goal is to take steps towards fighting for titles and the team has been working towards that in recent months, also adjusting its methods as revealed by team manager Francesco Guidotti.
The manager told the press that he is happy with the work done in recent months, emphasizing that now is the time to take action on the track: ‘I think we did a good job during the winter and the riders’ feelings are improving and lap times were truly crazy for everyone. It is true that track conditions were great during the three days of testing. We have two more days of testing ahead just to prepare the final details and select the final parts. And then the start will be here. So there is no more room for talking and making speeches and considerations, but it is almost time to act‘.
Despite having a slightly different approach to the 2024 winter tests, Guidotti assured that the work was similar and he is encouraged for the new season: ‘We did a slightly different job compared to the 2023 winter tests. The base we have now is solid and we started working more on the details. But compared to last year’s winter tests, the same aspect is that we never gave the rider the same bike every day. So the feeling they have is only a small part of what they will have during the season. We started from a different level, but we did a similar kind of work. So we can be optimistic‘.
