Things move quickly in the world of Grand Prix. It only takes a few positive results for some and certain defeats for others to shake up what seemed to be certainties. This is currently the case in Moto2. 2017 was KTM's first season in the category.

At Kalex, we soberly comment on the rumor this way, via the CEO Alex Baumgärtel : " we have a contract with Marc VDS Racing for 2018 ". Never since the title of Marc Marquez on Suter, Kalex had only suffered three consecutive defeats. To be continued…
