So we've been talking about KTM's woes a lot as of late. Like, a lot.
But today is, supposedly, good news on the KTM MotoGP front as the team says it's back developing this year's bike after having to pause late last year! Something that'll totally give Pedro Acosta the edge to secure his first championship! And that's cause for celebration, right?
RIGHT?! Well, maybe.
See, we've been here before. We've had KTM's assurances that everything is in fact fine and dandy at the Austrian manufacturer. We've heard the MotoGP team wouldn't be affected by KTM's insolvency proceedings and that everything is actually quite cool, after assuring us that the MotoGP team wouldn't be affected by the insolvency proceedings since they were "separate entities." But then it came out that it wasn't. That KTM would likely—baring an outside savior—would be leaving MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3 at the end of 2025.
More than that, it was also assured that Acosta, KTM's biggest, shiniest star, was remaining steadfast in his dedication to the team and that he wasn't worried at all after a trip to Mattighofen. The reality was that he was quite worried about the season, though, and potentially looking to jump ship ahead of the season.
I don't know if you're playing at home, but I'm not sure that KTM can be trusted at present.
