KTM have been rebuffed in their attempts to acquire three current satellite teams, but they have a new plan to increase their presence.
Talks with Gresini Racing, LCR Honda and RNF Aprilia failed to find an agreement to bring them under the KTM umbrella.Pit Beirer, KTM’s motorsports director, told“Two weeks later they came to a new agreement with their current manufacturer [Ducati].Video of Can Brad Binder WIN the 2023 MotoGP World Championship?“We just asked about his contract situation. When he informed us that he had a Honda contract for 2024, the conversation ended.
“We will not try to wrestle a team from a manufacturer. Especially not if this plant only has one customer team.”But current Tech3 GASGAS pair Pol Espargaro and Augusto Fernandez are also contracted, while they have promised entry to MotoGP to Moto2 starlet Pedro Acosta."Our efforts, wishes and efforts are still going in weekly talks with Dorna to get more places," confirmed Beirer.
"We're trying to get a fifth place. If we are told that the number five is awkward because there are only two-rider teams, we would also use six.“But we don't want to give up our five riders, we want an additional slot. “That is our goal for this summer. By the end of the summer we want to have a solution on how to keep the five riders with us."
