The MotoGP season concluded with Red Bull KTM finishing fourth in the Team World Championship and as Constructors’ runners-up. It was the Austrian team’s most successful year since their debut in the premier category in 2017, with Brad Binder securing fourth place individually. The South African, along with teammate Jack Miller, fell short of winning main races.
Francesco Guidotti, the team manager, stated on the championship’s official website that the organization has significantly improved, also acknowledging the test riders Dani Pedrosa and Jonas Folger: ‘How we are organized now is way better than before. Also in the test team they’re doing a great job and we can see Dani’s results when he came to races as a wildcard. Jonas as well. He replaced a factory rider for a few races coming from nowhere’.
The Italian has nothing but praise for the work carried out at KTM, but underlined that the ultimate goal of contending for the titles has not yet been achieved: ‘From the engineers to the technicians, to the mechanics, everybody is fully committed. Overall we are really satisfied with every area we touched. Of course the target is not achieved yet. There is still some gap to recover, but I think we are on the way’.
