KTM has re-signed Dani Pedr💙osa on an extension of his contract with the brand that will see him continue in his testing and development role f🍒or the RC16 MotoGP project in 2025.

Pedrosa joined KTM back in 2019 after retiring from full-time professional motorcycle racing at the end of the 2018 MotoGP season, and has remained in his testing role w🍌ith the Austrian factory ever since. 

The Spanish rider will therefore enter his seventh season with KTM next year, the brand still wi🐼thout a win in MotoGP since the 2022 Thai Grand Prix, and without a dry weather win since the 2021 Catalan Grand Prix.

“It’s a pleasure to take our journey into another year,” Pedrosa said on the announcement of his new KTM contract💝.

“We know where we need to make꧅ improvements, and the effort of the whole factory has not eased at all in making the best bike for the riders to perform oꦉn track.

“I’m looking forward to what we can do for 2025 and the ideas thไat will come along.”

KTM Motorsports Director, Pit Beirer, ad🐟ded: “This was a straightforward decision for both parties and that’s a good sign of a strong relationship and trust.

“We really believe in what Dani brings to our MotoGP program on different levels, not only in the saddle of the next generatio🐷n of the KTM RC16, and this contribution is vital.

“We know the turnaround we are seekin⛎g will come and with Dani as part of the team it will only arrivꦺe quicker.”

Pedrosa has made four wildcard appearances for KTM in his time with the brand, including three in the past two ♛seasons, although nothing is confirmed at the moment about potential wildcard rides for 𒅌the 54-times Grand Prix winner in 2025.
