Phil Marron is set to join Brad Binder at KTM in MotoGP 2026
Phil Marron, currently the crew chief for Toprak Razgatlioglu in World Superbike, is expected to join KTM and work alongside Brad Binder for the 2026 MotoGP season. Speculation surrounding Marron’s future intensified after Razgatlioglu’s move to Pramac Yamaha was announced as he was initially planning to bring Marron with him, but now seems likely to team up with Alberto Giribuola. Giribuola, who previously worked with Andrea Dovizioso and Enea Bastianini, will probably replace Marron at Pramac. Despite rumors that Miguel Oliveira would retain Razgatlioglu’s crew at KTM, reports suggest Marron will indeed switch to KTM as Brad Binder’s crew chief. KTM team manager Aki Ajo remained tight-lipped about Marron’s potential move when asked during the Australian Grand Prix, emphasizing the current season and expressing satisfaction with Binder’s recent performances.
