Pete Beyrer, head of the KTM competition department, explained everything. To begin with, they would like to keep four competitors, but tariffs were imposed on two. “With Brad (Binder) and Pedro (Acosta), we have two fantastic drivers who we have a lot of faith in and are confident in for the future. My desire has not changed: I want to continue riding with our four. drivers, to be honest. the current performances of Jack (Miller) and Augusto (Fernandez) are too bad for a place in MotoGP that is so valuable. We still have time, but not much. Augusto and Jack don’t need to take giant steps, but they do need to take small steps forward to stabilize the overall situation. Other names that sound really good, give us a call.

and it makes you think. We are not yet in the aggressive proposal phase where we are fighting with Ducati or Aprilia. But it’s an exciting moment,” he admits to Motorsport magazine.

Fishing on a Ducati

for us. You have to think about how bad Mark had it last summer and he just wanted to find a bike that he knew he could be fully competitive on. With this bike he wanted to return to the top and he achieved it. That’s why I don’t see him changing brands again, which would mean a completely new beginning for him. Mark – pilot bright, but I don’t think it’s realistic for us to talk about signing it,” he admitted.

No hard feelings with Jorge Martin

As MARCA has already reported, KTM has turned the page, disappointed by the loss. Jorge Martin and they love him. Pierer confirms this. “Definitely, It was raining heavily about it. Anyone who knows us best knows how emotional we are and can die of sadness. When someone leaves us like this, we take it very personally because we put a lot of heart and soul into it. But Martin has done everything right for his career and is now a leader World Championship. That’s why I don’t want to talk about Mark and Martin. That would be presumptuous. Both pilots they are very strong At the moment they are with Ducati and there is no particular reason for them to change bikes. That’s why I don’t think it’s that important to put my two cents in on what I think about these two. Really I appreciate them both are brilliant pilots,” he says.

Without six motorcycles

Finally, despite what was said in 2023 about whether Pierer Mobility Group wants six mounts in MotoGP; Now they are content with four. “We ruled it out. After further analysis, we determined that four motorcycles This is the optimal size for us,” he concluded.
