Pit Beirer: "We all know Maverick can do miracles... We have to make sure we can get this feeling out of him many, many times."
Here, Pit Beirer, KTM ’s motorsport director, explains the background to the ‘very quick’ deal, confirms that their mission will be to unlock the ‘special, unbeatable’ Vinales as often as possible, says KTM were ‘never really in a contract conversation with Marc Marquez or Jorge Martin’ and more…“First of all, we never lost contact with Maverick since he won a world title on a KTM many years back . The friendship and relationship always stayed.
“We had in mind, but if this was a realistic chance, I could not really tell you. But it was also clear if things happen like they happened in Mugello , you also need to be quick to put your package together. “I feel on a really, really good day we can win. It's been missing for a while. On a good day, we are the second force behind Ducati. I say ‘on a good day’, because on another day Aprilia is stronger than us. They do also a great job.
“Then you have also Pedro, who is a rookie, and looks like he likes our package. He can go fast immediately… "But we also know if he doesn’t feel comfortable, he's not going back just one or two positions. Then it goes really wrong.
