KTM keeps us regularly informed tests they are conducting this year to prepare for their first wild card in Valencia before officially lining up for the year with two motorcycles.
One of them will be piloted by Bradley Smith while for the second, too many names are still mentioned at the moment to be able to have the slightest certainty...
At the same time, KTM is still carrying out intensive and discreet tests of its Moto2. Although not mentioned in the Austrian press release, nor even on the “friendly” Speedweek site, it was nevertheless very present in Italy, in the hands of the Finnish driver. Tatu Lauslehto.
Like Austrian Moto3 and MotoGP, Moto2 also has a tubular steel frame, built by WP, and is powered by a Honda engine.
The manufacturer's desire is to acquire experience in this category, in order to create a real Moto3-Moto2-MotoGP sector.
For the moment, no one knows if this Moto2 will actually be entered next year in the world championship, but it remains a real possibility, in particular with Aki Ajo, in a team left orphaned by the departure of Johann Zarco in MotoGP...
