Enea Bastianini will race next season in MotoGP with a KTM after closing a deal with the Austrian manufacturer which plans to put four identical bikes on track, Motorsport.com understands.
The five-time MotoGP race winner's fate at Ducati was revealed on Monday 3 June when Motorsport.com broke the news that the Italian manufacturer had decided to promote Marc Marquez to its factory team. While an official Ducati announcement is still forthcoming, it was all but confirmed on Monday evening when Aprilia announced it had signed a multi-year deal with Jorge Martin.
The Pierer Mobility Group, which manages both the factory KTM team and the works-suppported Tech3 GasGas satellite structure, is set to alter its branding strategy to have four RC16s racing in the company's famous orange colours. In fact, the interest of the business group led by Stefan Pierer in taking over the two places that, until now, have been attributed to Herve Poncharal - team owner of the French Tech3 squad - is not new.
