KTM made a strong start to the 2022 season with its new RC16 after an initially difficult testing phase, with Brad Binder second in the Qatar Grand Prix and Miguel Oliveira taking a wet-weather win in Indonesia.
But since then, results have been far more inconsistent, with Oliveira 12th last time out in Spain having been fifth the week before in Portugal, 18th in America and 13th in Argentina, while Binder was 10th at Jerez, 12th in America and sixth in Argentina.
