Managers in the MotoGP paddock are already thinking about 2025.
By the end of 2024, many riders will have expired contracts and will be able to look for the best bike available. Enea Bastianini’s manager has hinted at potential contact with KTM. KTM has expressed interest in expanding their presence in MotoGP and may consider signing Bastianini. However, KTM’s Motorsport Director claims to be unaware of any discussions. KTM’s plan to establish a second satellite team failed but will become possible in 2025. If KTM can catch up to Ducati in terms of bikes on the grid, it will create an interesting dynamic in the rider market. Bastianini will continue riding for Ducati in the upcoming season, but his future beyond 2025 remains uncertain. KTM is determined to make themselves an attractive option and could be influenced by the progress of young talent Pedro Acosta.
