KTM refuse to point finger after "very strange beginning of the season"
KTM have refused to point the finger at their rid🍌ers despite "the speed being there".
Francesco Guidotti believes KTM have had the speed to be more competitive in the 2024 MotoGP season than what the results show.
Following a brilliant double podium with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder in Qatar to begin the campaign, KTM (outside of rookie sensation 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta) have struggled.
Binder has not been on the podium since, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller is without a podium this season.
Guidot💞ti said: "We had a very good start. We had a very good start to the season and a𝕴 comfortable winter test, let's say.
"But it's sort๊ of been up-and-down with too many crashes after the first round and we didn't grab what we deserved I would say, because the speed was there.
"In the last two/three races we mi✅ssed a little bit of feeling and spee𒀰d. It's been a beginning of the season that is very strange. It's been inconsistent."
Discussing Binder's season, Guidotti continued: "The speed was always there and in so𝕴me occasions we missed the moment. For several reasons; some crashes but also we didn't perform in the crucial moments.
"The speed was there 🧜but we didn't grab what he could really do."
With regards to Miller who will be leaving the Austrian brand at the end of the season, Guidotti did not want to blame the Australian for the ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚlack of performance.
"He lost conꦆfidence with the front, where he was really strong [lಌast season] but I wouldn't say that he messed up," added the factory KTM team manager.
"We win and we lose together. This yeaꦦr we never had the right package for his riding style and we never put everything together to show our potential."
Acosta has been KTM's best rider this season as he sits 𓆉sixth in the standings, one place ahead of Binder.
🐽And when discussing the young Spaniard, Guidotti was 🍎unsurprisingly quick to praise the reigning Moto2 champion.
"With this kind of rider you can never had expectation [laughs] because they always surprise somಌehow.
"He's very welcome in this project and he supports us🐟 indefinitely in a dif𒐪ferent way."
