MotoGP - KTM 2019

[Mikey777 44]

KTM was back in MotoGP in 2017...part of their plan to eventually dominate the motorcycle world.

Just announced this week...KTM picked up Johann Zarco for 2019.  Zarco is the new hot rider and apparently turned down Repsol Honda to join the KTM factory team. He will join Pol Espargaro who also signed for another year with KTM. Look for KTM on the podium next year and a new sport bike soon.

Zarco is currently on a satellite Yamaha team and doing better than the factory Yamaha riders..Rossi and Vinales.

  Good News,  They could use a new narrative on the circuit.  It would be good to see someone butt heads with Marquez,,, Ha, as if that isn't happening now.  

   Thanks for keeping us up to date,  Bagstr 

 P.S. -  Any Truth to the rumor that Rossi will retire and become the Official Party Director for the circuit?

I think 2019 or 2020 will be his last last year. He will likely expand the Sky Team and get more into coaching.
