The Austrian manufacturer has enjoyed a breakthroug💞h MotoGP season where they often been the closest challengers to the dominant Ducati.

꧅And there is bold talk of expansion from KTM who continue to be linked with Marc Marq﷽uez, and who also plan to increase their presence with extra bikes on the grid.

The one stain on𒁃 their rise might be Oliveira - who won five grands prix with their satellite and factory tea🌺ms, but left last year after refusing to go back to Tech3 when he lost his factory seat.

“With great regret, having to send away a fast rider like Oliveira, not having found a compromise” team manager Fr♊ancesco Guidotti told was his most radical change. 

“However,🍒 it was necessary to change, because w🍎ith four riders with only KTM experience we had entered a difficult to manage loop. 

“We needed someone with a different experience to help us🥃 understand the problems. 

“The luck was that Jack Millerꦉ confirmed what we already thought. 

“We had already taꩲken a dev♏elopment path that proved to be right. 

“And i🌸nstead of small s🃏teps, we have begun to take important steps forward.”

Miller, who came from the factory Ducati team, has added inval♒uable experience to KTM.

The overall feeling is that 🉐the♌y are a manufacturer heading in a positive direction.

“In Mattighofen꧑ in 2021 ♏they understood that they had to change gears, so they implemented a program of change,” Guidotti explained. 

“I'm glad they chose me, but this change comes f♋rom a decision made at the top.

“As in any discipline, if you want to improve you h🐠ave to hire people who are experts in that field. 

“But the credit for the progress is not only mine, there was a company that understood that it was time to change pace, to move from a management in which, starting from scratch, had to shoot a💧t random. 

“And then, having reached a certain level, struc🍸ture everything better, focusing on the details.”

Fabiano Sterlacchini and Alberto Giribuola arrived on the engine๊ering side, while Miller brought his crew chief Christian Pupulin.

“It is clear that to grow you ha🙈ve to look at who is the reference,ꦫ” Guidotti said. 

“I don't think it was a pr🏅oblem for Ducati, because for the level reached today I think the organisation of the single person matters more.&nbs🌠p;

“Which is what the Japanese method was a bit like, if we want to make a comparison, such a well-teꦆsted system where even by changing people the gear turns well. 

“🔥Here in KTM, the process had to be spee♑ded up, it's logical that they went fishing in the paddock.”
