KTM are no ♑longer attempting to add another satellite team to the MotoGP grid.

The Austrian m♕anufacturer was vocal last year about their wish to expand their presence to six bikes.

As well as their factory ❀team and Tech3 GASGAS, KTM wanted to add a second satellite teaꦫm to their ranks.

That plan has now changed.

Asked if adding another team was still a goal, KTM motorsports director Pit Beirer told : “N﷽o, w💙e wrote that off.

“We tried extremely hard to achieve this.

“The reason for this was also an unfortunate contract sit𒈔uation. This is well known to everyone.

“After further analysis🌃, we have now determined that four bikes is the optimal size for us.

“Two would defin🍷itely not be enough, but six could also be too many.

“You first have t꧙o manage s𝔉ix motorcycles and six riders.

“That's why we now want to🥀 provide full commitment for four drivers.

“We are trying to make the motor🔯cycle even better and take the last step that 🏅is still missing.”

Last year, KTM spoke to RNF Aprilia, Gresini Ducati an𝓡d LCR ൲Honda about recruiting them.

Those talks all hit a dead-end pretty quickly.

KTM then spoke to Dorna about increasing their quantity of bikes, and were even open to single-rider tea🌼m run by Aki Ajo.

None of those plans came to fruition this year.

KTM have Brad Binder and Jack Miller as their factory riders, and Pedro Acosta and Augu🅺sto Fernandez with the Tech3 GASGAS project.

Pol Espargaro and Dani Pedrosa make up their exp꧑ܫerienced test rider pair.

The movemeꦚnt in the satellite team market surrounds Yamaha and Ducati this year.

Yamaha have ܫnegotiated with VR46 and Pramac, to expand their presence from two to four bikes in 2025.

The door to V🐈R46 is shut but Pramac are yet to finalise their decision of whether to stay at D🦩ucati or go to Yamaha.
