KTM appears to be the second fastest package on the grid heading into the new MotoGP season, although the Qatar test will shed further light 👍on where each manufacturer stands.

Ducati were fastest at Sepang, 💯however, the🐠 likes of Brad Binder and rookie Pedro Acosta were very competitive over long runs.

Qualifying is n🧔o longer a weakness for the Austrian brand, and given Binder’s ability to consistently churn out big results on Sunday’s, ch🧸allenging for wins should be possible in 2024.

But for that to 🥃happen, factory Red Bull KTM Team Manager Francesco Guidotti believes they need to unlock more speed.

Speaking after the Sepang test, Guidotti told MotoGP.com: “Happy about the work but not the speed. We think we have some more ideas tꦏo get better.

“The riders’ feeling is improving day-by-day and 🍬the speed is also improving day-by-day. We have worked on the engine side, the aero side yo♏u have seen, electronics and something with the frame.

“We have worked 360 degrees on the bike an𓄧d it♕ takes time to find the speed with different settings run-by-run.

“We are happy with the work but n🍬ot the speed which will come.”

KTM’s line-up of Binder, Acosta, Jack Miller and Augusto Fernandez is arguably the most t👍alented they’ve had since becoming a🐼 MotoGP outfit.

Thus 2024 could be their best y🤡ear especially if they can provide Binder and Miller with a bike capable of challegnging for victories week-in-week-out.
