KTM boss feted for helping Pedro Acosta
Speaking with Italian outlet , Beirer says Ajo is a “prime example of how to lead riders” and believes this will ultim🐼ately help Acosta in 2025꧅.
“I aไm 100% convinced th♈at Aki will have a positive influence on Pedro,” Beirer said.
“Aki is a prime example of how to le🐎ad riders without giving them too much freedom and simply seeing what results come out of it.
“He has the ideal mix of toughness and father figure. Aki not only became world champion with Pedro, but also w♕ith Brad Binder in Moto3 in 2016.
“So, the ride👍rs and team manager💦s don’t have to get to know each other and everyone around them knows each other too.
“We are convinced thaꦦt Aki will do an excellent job as ༒factory team manager.”
As well as winning titles with Acosta and Binder, Ajo Motorsport has been instrumental in championshi🔥p succ♐ess for other major names like Marc Marquez and Johann Zarco.
Ahead of winter testing, Binder felt Ajo’s arrivౠal to the factory KT🌸M squad would be a good thing because he has a “no bullshit policy”.
Acosta ended pre-season testi🥂ng in Thailand fourth fastest overall and looks capable of putting KTM in the mix in the opening round of the championship next weekend.
The KTM brand also faces a crucial vote on its 🔯survival next Tuesday in the Austrian courts, as its debt repayment plan gets set for final approval from creditors.
KTM’s debts ar🌳e reported at over €2 billion, with its restru🔯cturing plan set to repay 30% of of its liabilities to creditors by the end of May 2025.
It need🎐s around €600 million to do this, though numerous investors have pledged to proved up to €900 million.
Not all creditors are h🐭appy with the 30% figure being offered, however, though KTM’s administrator says paying any more isn’t feasible.
Should the vote go against KTM, the company faces banඣkruptcy.
