Is this the best under-the-radar rider line-up in MotoGP 2025?
"We have two riders coming off t🐽woꦍ different motorcycles"

KTM might have off the track problems but their rider line-up for ๊💮MotoGP in 2025 is ominous.
Pedro Acosta has been promoted into the factory team after a stellar rookie season, alongside the experi🌜enced Brad Binderꦐ.
The new-look Te꧑ch3 team comprises race winners Enea Bastianini and Maverick Vinal🏅es.
Although Ducati’s factory garage possesses a duo of♋ stars, KTM might be quietly optimi👍stic that their four-pronged attack is something to shout about.
“For me there are only positives with such a strong rider�ℱ� line-up,” Binder said.
“Firstly, we have two riders coming off two different motorcycles from two different factories, so they are bringing us that wealth ♚of knowledge and experience.
“I really think this will help us firstly boost the project and see where we can ꦿimprove and where our strong points are.
“Secondly, from a rider’s point of view it always helps you t🗹o chip away and find the maximum every day possible.”
Vinales (from Aprilꦡia) and Bastianini (from Ducati) bring valꦚuable knowledge of KTM’s rivals.
And in Acosta, KTM po🌠ssess the brightest young talent in the sport.
Acosta’s arrival in the factory team mean🎃s Binder, a KTM stalwart, is now their elde📖r statesman.
“It’s weird because when I think about it, it feels like we have been teammates already for a year because Tech3 an෴d the factory team were working so closely together f♛or the last couple of seasons, and there was not a big difference,” Binder said.
“Of couღrse it is strange to be the older one in the team now. It’s the first time in my life that it has happened.
﷽“It’s suꦉper cool on one hand because Pedro has come into MotoGP with such a boom and has done an incredible job.
“He’s incredi🍷bly fast🐈, obviously, and for sure he will keep me on my toes.”
