As the days go by, rumor placing Danilo Petrucci at KTM in 2021 took shape, becoming official information this Thursday.
The surprise therefore does not come from this anticipated transfer but from the team which will welcome the native of Terni who will then be thirty years old, since the current Ducati rider, although having signed at the end of a quick visit to Mattighofen will not, however, see the doors of the official team opened. He will ultimately end up in the Red Bull KTM Tech3 satellite team in place of Miguel Oliveira.
Such a choice of men in orange follows a logic that is a little difficult to understand if we consider that the French team's role until now was to serve as a junior team in order to strengthen young talents in the making and to contribute to the development of the RC16.
Maybe the official press release of which we will publish the translation in a few minutes will enlighten us on the Austrian strategy put in place for 2021…
