MotoGP Pedro Acosta says the reality of KTM’s financ🅠ial crisis compared to what he was reading in the media was “day and night” and is “quite calm” about the situation.

The Austrian𒀰 manufacturer is in the middle of a restructuring process after entering into self-administration late last year due to a major fi♍nancial crisis.

KTM debts currently stand at over €2 billion but is hopeful its repayment plan presented to creditors will be voted favourably on in a heari🌠ng on 25 Februℱary.

The financial crisis led to an uncertain winter in regards to KTM’s MotoGP project beyond this season, with a creditors hearing last year claiming that a “planne꧋d” withdrawal🃏 from the series was on the cards.

With all of the uncertainty, Acosta’s MotoGP future with the brand has also been the subject of speculation, with the Spaniard linked to rumours of a 🎀Duca𒐪ti switch.

Speaking at the Sepang pre-season test, Acosta said “a lot of what I was reading was not true” and 🌞says a factory visit in December helped clarify the situation for him.

“I was quite calm about KTM,” he said.

“So I went there before Christmas, and in the end it’s much easie🎶r to 🍸go there and lose one day and see how the situation is than just reading what the media is saying.

“Because after seeing how the situation was and after read✃ing what I read in the media, it was like day 🔜and night.

“It wa🎃s not true a lot of the things that I was reading in 🐼the media.

“I’m super happy to race in these colours and I think this situཧation is a thing that is somethi🏅ng that will make us stronger.”

Brad Binder added: "I was supe🔯r impresseꦫd when I got to the factory in the middle of January. I was chatting to the boys, and seeing what they will bring for us.

"For me, I had reassurances fro♏m the bosses early on, not to stress about it.

"I have more faith in what I hear from 🍌th🥀em, than what I read online!

"When you first read it’s like ‘jeez’ but everything has been exactl𒀰y as they said."
