That KTM KTM boss Stefan Pierer said earlier that he will be involved in MotoGP in the long term. Now it is official. The Austrians hang on for at least another five years and drive in the highest motorcycle racing class until 2026. A corresponding contract with the MotoGP promoter Dorna has now been signed. In the past season, KTM was able to record its first three victories in the premier class. In the manufacturers’ championship, the orange ones came fourth.

“I am very pleased to announce this new five-year contract with Dorna. I would like to take this opportunity to especially thank Dorna and Mr Carmelo Ezpeleta and his entire team, because we have already had four great years together and they are a really professional partner in this important sport. After just a few seasons, we have put this project on a very solid footing, so it is a positive step to continue our MotoGP commitment until 2026”, comments KTM motorsport director Pit Beirer on the contract extension.
