KTM MotoGP Project Faces Uncertainty Amid Financial Crisis

KTM's MotoGP project faces uncertainty due to the company's severe financial troubles, including a €1.8 billion debt and recent bankruptcy filings. Pedro Acosta, who joined the KTM factory team, is particularly concerned as he had been led to believe in KTM's financial strength when signing his contract. Despite KTM's reassurance that it remains committed to its racing endeavors, reports indicate that cost-cutting measures could lead to the axing of the MotoGP program. The company's restructuring process has resulted in staff layoffs and a freeze on developments for 2025, raising questions about their competitive capacity. Acosta's agent expressed surprise at the financial situation and the lack of prior warning, highlighting growing trust issues. While KTM maintains it will continue to participate in MotoGP, the extent to which the project can thrive remains in question amidst ongoing financial instability.
