In the case between David Pickworth and KTM (see here), the Austrian manufacturer apparently no longer minces its words against the British investment banker, and declares itself ready to provide a chassis to Dominique Aegerter if the latter, with the help of his agent Robert Siegrist manages to find funding for his season. We are talking about 500 euros…

Pete Beirer, Director of KTM Motorsport, in comments made to the site Blick.ch : “We want nothing more to do with this hoaxer. We had already extended the deadline. But not because of this bluffer, but for the two drivers. It's cruel to see the position they are in now, because someone was beckoning with a lot of money. »

As for Dominique Aegerter’s plan B…

“Sigi and Aegerter are scrambling for this. So, we don't want to let them down, and we move on now with Domi. But now we can't waste any more time. We care about pilots, especially German speakers. There is a lot of potential in Domi. We believe in him and would like to be his partners when he starts! »

So if there is a chance for Dominique Aegerter (and the support of KTM should help it find its budget), the situation seems more complicated for Sandra Cortese who, barring a last minute change of heart, risks finding himself without handlebars in the Moto2 world championship...

The next Moto2 tests will take place from February 6 to 8 in Valencia (see here).
