Yamaha’s MotoGP boss has spoken about his concern over𝓰𝐆 KTM’s money woes.

KTM shocked the motorcycle community by entering into self♏-administration late last year, with debts of around €1.8 billion.

They have insi꧂sted that it won’t impact theirꦜ racing programme in MotoGP.

“It is neither a good case for them nor a goodܫ case for us,” Yamaha team manager Maio Mere🗹galli told .

“What I know comes from what I have read.

“I have a hard time imagining the consequences.ℱ They ke🍷ep denying that the racing will have problems.

“Maybe I have a hard time bel🐷ieving it completely.

“The Japanese are also worried because this situation is not good for anyone. We have never addressed the ꦬsubject in detail♛.”

Yamaha have themselves dealt with big problems although🍷 theirs remain within the boundaries of racing.

The addition of the Pramac satellite team will buoy Yamaha this season, giving them double the♐ quantity of riders to provide data.

However, the obvious problems at KTM are a problem for their rival manufa🐼cturers in MotoGP, none of whom want to see a drop-out similar to Suzuki𝄹’s.

KTM are currently acting on a 🍒self-imposed 100-point plan to deal with their financial issues while remaining committed to MotoGP.

But they have been unable to halt the rumours linking their star ma𒅌n Pedro Acosta to a move elsewhere.

Ducati are among the m▨any suitors should Acosta look elsewhere.
