Red Bull KTM Ajo announced earlier this morning the confirmation that Collin Veijer will make the jump to Moto2 starting next year. It was somewhat expected, as we reported yesterday, and for the rider himself the time to get on the intermediate class is exactly this.
The 19 year old rider didn’t hide his happiness with the news that were given today: ‘I am super-happy to have signed with Aki and the Red Bull KTM Ajo team in Moto2. KTM is present in all GP classes and this is a great move for my career. It is such a renowned team and past results speak for themselves’.
The timing to have this promotion, he believes, was the right, as he also feels he is better suited for the class: ‘For sure it won’t be easy coming from Moto3 but I will prepare myself well. 2025 is the right moment to make the step, also physically the Moto2 bike will suit me better. At the same time, I realise that we are still only half way through the current season and I will continue to keep my maximum focus to reach the best possible Moto3 championship result this year’.
