In a long and very interesting interview of which we will publish the full translation tomorrow, Kurt Trieb, the engineer responsible for Ktm engines announces that they have just found "something" to further improve their Moto3 engines and which will be implemented l 'next year.
Given that, for the moment, the orange machines, reigning world champions, are not really lagging behind, Brad Binder still having 106 points ahead of Enea Bastianini and his Honda, there is something to salivate about , get excited, worry (cross out the unnecessary) depending on whether you are pro-Austrian or pro-Japanese…
“Surprisingly (and I don't say this out of disrespect), we found a good improvement on the engine side for next year. I thought we were pretty level, but we found good potential and we are optimistic for 2017. This shows that KTM is still very focused on Moto3 since by continuing the development work, we found a big improvement that gets everyone excited for next season. »
