KTM boss: “We wanted to avoid Miguel Oliveira exit”
A major shake-up in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 MotoGP rider line-up will see♏ Oliveira swap KTM for RNF Aprilia༺, to be replaced by Miller who is departing Ducati.
KTM boast an impressive-looking duo in Miller and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder, with six race wins combined, but team manager Guido🌜tti admitted it was a shame to see Oliveira, winner of five MotoGP races for KTM, leave.
“Unfortunately we lost the most successful rider with KTM, we would have liꩵked to avoid it," Guidotti said about Oliveira.
Oliveira had previously claimed: “We simply had different ways of thinking. The restructuring of the team went hand in hand with the will to have a꧅ rider o🅘ther than me there.”
Guidꦅotti now has a new duo t🎀o lead in his second season as KTM boss.
“Our technic𝓀ians needed experienced riders," Guidotti said.
"We now have a mix of different experiences, plus a rookie. But in the end we chose the line-up based on o🍸ur technical situation.
"The importance is 'fast consistency’. Jack is much more mature. He has moved from his comfort zone,🔯 which he had in Ducati, and has a good challenge ahead of him. But he's very motivated."
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pol Espargaro will rejoin KTM for the Tech3 GASGAS team alongside Augusto Fernandez﷽.
"Pol was excited to be back," 🦹Guidotti said. "Both he and Jack are important to their experience with different brands. And they are alꦐso very fast on the flying lap, which we lacked last year. I'm not saying it's the riders' fault, it probably depended on the bike."
