In a surprising move, KTM caused a stir in the MotoGP rider market by announcing that Enea Bastianini and Maverick Vinales, factory riders for Ducati and Aprilia respectively, will join their satellite team Tech3 for the 2025 season. This decision solidified KTM’s lineup, which already includes Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder for the main team, making them a formidable opponent for Ducati next year. However, there are differing opinions on how Vinales, in particular, will perform at KTM. Simon Patterson and Valentin Khorounzhiy share their contrasting views on this subject, along with Matt Beer, as they discuss the future of the ousted KTM pair of riders, Jack Miller and Augusto Fernandez. Additionally, the panel delves into the hot topics of who Aprilia will hire to replace Vinales and the various changes happening in Ducati’s lineup, not only in terms of riders but also teams. Furthermore, the efforts of Joan Mir to leave Honda and the aspirations of the top Moto2 riders to join MotoGP in the 2025 season are thoroughly examined.
