MotoGP ‘relieved’ KTM’s financial crisis saga is over
Dorna’s chief sporting officer Carlos Ezpeleta expressed relief that KTM’s financial crisis has been resolved, following months of uncertainty for the brand. KTM had been dealing with a major financial crisis since late last year, forcing it into self-administration to avoid bankruptcy. In February, KTM’s restructuring plan was approved by creditors, with a significant investment from major shareholder Bajaj Auto to help repay debts. The impact on KTM’s MotoGP project remains uncertain, but the brand has always maintained that the racing program was unaffected by financial challenges. Despite rumors of potential changes, KTM motorsport boss Pit Beirer confirmed that the brand will continue its satellite support for Tech3 next season. KTM has also been preparing for the 2027 850cc regulations change, showing a commitment to long-term planning in MotoGP.
