RiderTua.com – Until last year, Marc Marquez’s name was linked to KTM thanks to the intervention of the Austrian sponsor, Red Bull. The KTM RC16 bike proved to be an up-and-coming prototype from an evolutionary point of view and with the arrival of Pedro Acosta, the Mattighofen leaders could smile.
The arrival of Cervera champion Marc Marquez remains an enigma for the racing driver market. Everyone wants it, but everyone is also waiting, like in a game of chess where the next move may be the right maneuver, or it may be a blunder.
It’s Strange if Marc Marquez goes to KTM… Who says?
The KTM RC16 bike has experienced significant development in recent years. With the help of sponsor Red Bull, KTM has succeeded in improving its performance and competitiveness in MotoGP racing. From an evolutionary point of view, the RC16 became a prototype that attracted the attention of many riders also after Ducati.
The development of the KTM RC16 bike cannot be separated from the important role of its riders, including Dani Pedrosa. And the arrival of Pedro Acosta, who is one of the young riders who shows great potential in Moto3 and Moto2 and managed to become a highlight on his debut in that class. His arrival to the KTM team is a valuable addition to the team.
However, even though KTM has succeeded in strengthening its position in MotoGP, the arrival of Marc Marquez remains an interesting topic of conversation. Marquez is a very successful rider with six MotoGP world championship titles under his name. He has extraordinary skills and experience in riding racing bikes.
Many people’s desire to see Marquez join KTM is not surprising. KTM has proven its ability to develop competitive bikes after Ducati, and Marquez could be a valuable asset for the team. However, Marquez’s decision to stay with the Ducati factory is still a mystery that has not been revealed.
Apart from that, another factor that needs to be considered is the suitability of Marquez’s riding style with the characteristics of the KTM bike. Every rider has a unique riding style, and not all bikes suit that style. Marquez must ensure that the KTM bike can support his aggressive riding style and give him the confidence to compete at the highest level.
As a famous rider, Marquez also has many choices of teams who want to recruit him. His decision to stay with Ducati was probably based on factors such as the strong power of the Desmosedici, the support provided by the team, and the opportunity to continue developing as a rider on a bike that has guaranteed performance.
Strange Three Years Replacing 3 bikes
Francesco Guidotti, KTM Factory Racing team manager, did not reveal the secret. KTM feels they already have an advantage in making decisions, because they already have Pedro Acosta. “Regarding Marc, I won’t deny that I would still like to have him. Having both would be very beneficial. But he works very well with Ducati and it seems strange to me that he would want to change three bikes in three years, even if only because of his age. I think he will play his cards with this bike, even in the future.”
