Nothing changes for KTM Racing GmbH? Might Red Bull come to the rescue?
Herve Poncharal, boss of KTM’s satellite Tech3 team, says “everything is proceeding as usual” for the 2025 MotoGP season, despite the financial crisis facing the Pierer Mobility Group.. “In Barcelona, during the last GP, I had a meeting with Hupert Trunkenpolz, Pit Beirer and Carmelo Ezpeleta: There is a plan and it will be respected. From the information I have received, the Racing Department will not be affected by the Pierer Group’s financial difficulties.
A source close to one of next year’s KTM riders also expressed confidence that the same level of support will continue for the MotoGP project. “Consequently, for the current 2024 financial year, the company expects a negative annual net result in the very high three-digit million range due to the aforementioned reasons.”by some paddock members - not directly connected to KTM - is if, when creditors and suppliers are facing substantial losses, not to mention staff redundancies, the banks and creditors will still support expensive motorsport activities.
Red Bull - or one of its Austrian shareholders - would be the dream choice, since it is already closely tied to KTM and could incorporate the prototype MotoGP activities into its vast 'Red Bull Racing' and associated technology divisions.
