Is this the best under-the-radar rider line-up in MotoGP 2025?
"We🌃 have two riders coming off two different ಌmotorcycles"

KTM might have off the track problems but their ri꧃der line-up for MotoGP in 2025 is ominous.
Pedro Acosta has been promoted into the fac🐽tory team after a stellꦗar rookie season, alongside the experienced Brad Binder.
The new-look Tech3 team comprises 🃏race winners Enea Bastianini and Maverick Vinales.
Although Ducati’s factory garage possesses a duo of stars, KTM ꧂might be quietly optimistic that their four-pronged attack is something to shout ab♐out.
“For me there are only positiܫves with such a strong rider line-up,” Bin🍸der said.
“Firstly, we have two riders coming off two different motorcycles from tw🦄o different factories, so they are bringing us that wealth of knowledge and experience.
“I really think this will help us firstly boost the♏ project and see where we can improve and where our s꧅trong points are.
“Secondly, from a r♐ider’s point of꧑ view it always helps you to chip away and find the maximum every day possible.”
Vinales (fr𓄧om Aprilia) and Bastianini (from Ducati) bring valuable knowledge of KTM’s rivals𓆏.
And in Aco𒐪st꧃a, KTM possess the brightest young talent in the sport.
Acosta’s arrival in the factory team means Binder♈, a KTM stalwart, is now their elder stat🎃esman.
“It’s weird because when I think about it, it feels like we have been teammates already for a year because Tech3 and the factory team were working so closely together for the last couple of seasons, and there w𝄹as not a big difference,” Binder said.
“Of course it✅ is strange to be the older one in the team now. It’s the first time in my life that it has happened.
“It’s super cool on one hand because Pedro has come into MotoGP with such a boom ꧅and has done ♛an incredible job.
“He’s incredibly fast, obviouﷺs🔥ly, and for sure he will keep me on my toes.”
