Enea Bastianini says he’s faced “ꦓa tough winter” due to theꦐ ongoing uncertainty over KTM’s MotoGP project but revealed “things are stabilising”.

The seven-time MotoGP race w𒁃inner signed for KTM last year to j൩oin the Tech3 squad on a factory deal from 2025.

But a financial crisis has plunged the future of the Austri☂an firm’s racing programmes into uncertainty, with a pre-Christmas creditors hearing revealing KTꦍM’s exit from MotoGP is “planned” as part of cost-saving measures.

KTM has already confirmed it will race o♛n in 2025, but not beyond, so far.

Bastianini 🔥is on a multi-year deal with KTM, with the ongoing 𓆏situation making his MotoGP future unclear.

In a recent Sky Sports Italy inte♕rview, Bastianini offered an update.

“It's been a tough winter, but I've been training and trying to keep a clear head,” h🎀e said.

“I🐬've been trying to do my best every day, to try and be ready for🌱 the championship.

“Now, thinဣgs are stabilising a bit, so there's🍒 definitely a bit more serenity.

“But I'm giving 100% and you woไn't find me unprepared.”

Bastianini was cautious in laying out any targets for himself for 2025 having only completed one test ♏day on the KTM last November so far.

“S﷽etting a target at the moment is not realistic,” he added.

“I🥂've only done 50 laps with the KTM, so it's not easy to think about what the target might be.

“I think it's a bike that has potential, but I may not be able to exploit i𒊎t 100% from the first races.

“But I'm sure that race🌄 after race we'ꦉll achieve it.”

Bastianini took part in Valentino Rossi’s 100Km of Champions event in T🗹avullia last 🍬week, partnering with Matteo Casadei.

The pair finished 15th iℱn the race, which was won by Diogo Moreira and Thomas Chareyre.

Last week Bastianini also announced ಌ168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:he had split with long-time manager Carlo Pernat, signing a new deal wꦑꦍith London-based agency MSM.
