The Tech3 team has been assured that KTM’s flagship MotoGP programme will remain ‘untouched’ despite the company facing a major financial crisis. Earlier this week, Pierer Mobility Group revealed it is in discussions with both owner Pierer Bajaj AJ and existing creditors to secure bridge financing in the “three-digit million range”.
It remains to be seen how Pierer Mobility Group’s financial situation will impact its motorsport programmes. From a marketing perspective, the focus is back on its primary brand KTM, with GasGas and Husqvarna taking a back seat. For example, only three KTM drivers will compete in the 2025 Dakar Rally in January. The MotoGP programme, the largest and most expensive of all for the company, is currently not at risk.
