You'll have to get used to it. The arrival of KTM in MotoGP will be accompanied by explosive positions which are likely to shake more than one person and break the cozy atmosphere of MotoGP. Even brand boss Stefan Pierer does not have his tongue in his pocket. His last outing on Lorenzo and Ducati set the tone.
Stefan pierer, he is the big boss of KTM. His status should push him toward political correctness and prudence. But it's quite the opposite. Ask Honda how cohabitation in Moto3 is going and you'll get a long look. In 2017, KTM will be present in Motorcycles with a chassis that will make Kalex cringe. But the Austrian brand will also be in MotoGP with its RC16 project.
An ambitious approach. The objective of the troops in orange is to quickly catch up with the Suzuki blues, then overtake them and compete for podiums. Then the title. Aprilia already fears the comparison from the last Grand Prix of this season in Valencia where the men from Mattighofen will be present as guests with Rock. And then KTM is recruiting with all his might qualified personnel from the competition. Starting with Honda.
Now, it's not just its Japanese competitors that Stefan pierer has in the nose. The European counterparts are also in the crosshairs of the boss who reserved his latest tirade for Ducati on tuttomotoriweb.com : " Ducati hired Jorge Lorenzo for 12 million euros and yet they are not sure of winning because as soon as it rains, it is in crisis. In this case, having the best bike is of no use. We prefer to look for future champions in Moto3 and Moto2, train them, follow them. People like Stoner, Márquez or Viñales rode for us in their early days. Now there's Brad Binder ". The latter seems promised a bright future while we will note the total forgetting of a Jack Miller. Resentful Beer?
