MotoGP: Pedrosa Continuing As KTM Test Rider

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing have confirmed that Dani Pedrosa has penned a new one-year deal to continue his crucial development work with the Austrian factory in 2025.

Pedrosa’s connection with KTM stretches back to 2019 when he retired from full-time World Championship competition and had an immediate input into the evolution of the KTM RC16. Pedrosa has made four wildcard appearances while being a KTM Test Rider, and his influence in the technical development of MotoGP™ has become more significant.

The 39-year-old will continue to provide his unique insight along with the rest of the testing program and R&D efforts in Austria as Red Bull KTM Factory Racing look to make more forward steps for MotoGP 2025 and 2026.

Dani Pedrosa: “It’s a pleasure to take our journey into another year. We know where we need to make improvements, and the effort of the whole factory has not eased at all in making the best bike for the riders to perform on track. I’m looking forward to what we can do for 2025 and the ideas that will come along.”

Pit Beirer, KTM Motorsports Director: “This was a straightforward decision for both parties and that’s a good sign of a strong relationship and trust. We really believe in what Dani brings to our MotoGP program on different levels, not only in the saddle of the next generation of the KTM RC16, and this contribution is vital. We know the turnaround we are seeking will come and with Dani as part of the team it will only arrive quicker.”
