Defiant KTM to begin building 2025 MotoGP bikes despite money headache
KTM to start building 2025 MotoGP bikes next week

KTM technicalඣ chief Wolfgang Felber says “everything is currently going as normal” regarding KTM’s🎃 preparations for the 2025 MotoGP season.
The Austrian firm faces an uncertain future in MotoGP as the company navigates it💜s way through a financial crisis, which triggered a restructuring proces🦩s.
A report from the first credit🥃ors hearing also stated that a withdrawal from grand prix ra🍸cing , though it will carry on as normal in 2025.
KTM’s racing division has also been 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:acting on a 100-point plan to cut spending amid the company’s current financial troubles, which ༒includes scaling back its factory involvement in various disciplines.
For 2025, it will field four factory KTMs in MotoGP spread across its works team and Tech3 for🦂 Pedro Acosta, Brad Binder, Maverick Vinales and Enea Bastianini.
In an interview with German publication , Felber offered a positive development on KTM’s 2025 prepara൩tions.
“As far as preparations for the new season are concerned, everything is currently going as norma🍌l,” he said.
“In recent years we have trimmed all processes so thཧat we build the new mach༒ines in the third week of the year.
“It will be the same in 20❀25. Next Mo🍷nday we will start rebuilding all the motorcycles.
“Everything is timed so that at the end of week three we pack the boxes for the big tes▨t in S🦋epang.
“Fro🐼m then on the biꦍkes are on the road for a long time. The vehicles will only arrive in Munderfing again for the European season opener in Jerez.”
Thꦆere have been rumours already that KTM will not carry out any development on its 2025 bike due to its ongoing finanꦜcial crisis.
While Felber stops short of admitting this, he notes the 2025 prototype “worked as hoped” in testing las♚t year and “has been defined” as the base bike.
“We are clearly talking about an evolutionary model in ▨2025,” he added.
“A radical new approach was out of the question. We already had our actual shakedown during the lastꦇ tests in 2024.
“The 2025 version worked as hoped and the basis has been defined. The plan now is to build ♏all machines accordingly with new parts.
“There are differences in the ergonomics, which are different for all ri🐻ders, as well as in the solutions for operating the rear brake.
“We can also take over some existing parts with low mileage. It doesn't make sense to thr💝ow away a handlebar stub that is onl𒆙y a few kilometres.”
