KTM motorsport director Pit Beirer raised eyebrows at Barcelona when he declined the chance to stamp out speculation and confirm 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder’s place at the Red Bull KTM team in 2025.

In August last year, Binder, a KTM rider since 2015 and part of its Red Bull-backed factory MotoGP tℱeam since his 2020 premier-class debut, extended his contract until 2026.

“We’ve already achieved and experienced so much together, and it makes us very proud that he wꦺants to continue on our RC16 and stay in orange,” Beirer said at the time.

“We couldn’t be hap♐pier to put that #33 bike in the box for a 💞few more years to come.”

But as the 2025 MotoGP silly season continues - with key names such as Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez yet to sign - Do♊rna’s Jack Appleyard asked Beirer if there was any truth to rumours Binder might move from (KTM) ‘orange’ to (GASGAS) ‘red’? 

Or will Binder “100 per cent remaiꩵn in this [KTM] garage next year?”

“This I really cannot tel🎐l you,” Beirer responded.

“Because we see the project as, in our group we have four MotoGP places. And at this stage, we cannot say who is in w♍hich position, which sid𓂃e.

“So we just look generally at t𓂃he four places, and try to make the best out of it.”

Those words suggest the Pierer✨ Mobility Group has the freedom to place Binder - its only MotoGP rider so far signed for 2025 - in either the Red Bull KTM or GASGAS Tech3 team.

However, when asked about the situation, Binder’s manager Bob Moore made clear to mahbx.com: 

“Brad has a contract with Factory Red Bull KTM.”

Binder, who took KTM to a new high of fourth in last year’s world championship, is eig💯hth in the present standings, two places and♏ eight points behind GASGAS rookie Pedro Acosta.

The South African’s team-mate Jack Miller is 15th and Acos💝ta’s team-mate Augusto Fernandez 17th.

KTM, which hasn’t won a dry grand prix since Catalunya 2022, is presently in a close fight with Aprilia for second in the ma🔯nufacturer standings, behind Ducati.
