MotoGP: ‘If they have something to hide, hide it’ - KTM call media ban ‘unacceptable’

Guidotti, who has been in his curren💝t role with KTM since the beginning of the 2022 MotoGP season following his departure from Pramac Ducati, fee📖ls it was an unnecessary decision to make.
Initially, journalists were scheduled to be banned from ente🔴ring tওhe circuit which would have meant a behind-closed-doors test.

And while all media that attends the Shakedown test are still unable to enter pit l❀ane, the ban on 🍎entering the circuit has now been lifted.
A very strange decision, Guidotti has stated that KTM are not one of the manufacturers that were in favour of such a ban. Aprili🐈a has also said it did not ask for it.
Speaking t𝔍o , Guidotti said: "I was really surprised by the news. We’ve always had the shakedown in Sepang, for how many years, 20? I don’t remember. Initially they were private tests, which we teams organised then with constant decr꧅ease in tests they became IRTA for organisational reasons.
"We told them: at this point you organise them, it’s easier and smoother. I learned in recent days of the ban on you journalists t꧙o stay in the pit lane. Honestly, saying it൩ 15 days before, I find this unacceptable.

"KTM has no problems, we are open and we have no prejudices about the 🐓presence of jo🍸urnalists.
"🐻On the contrary. I think that while🎐 waiting to organise things better, this year we could have let it go and left everything the way it was."
The Italian🌃 did not give away which brand wanted the ban to be imposed, however, it’s thought to have been a Japanese manuf🎉acturer.
Guidotti added: "Yes it’s the usual manufacturer. They complained bec🌠ause during the tests they have to put the panels in front of the bikes when they go back to the pits, but we’re talking about nothi💃ng.
"Communication is🌃 convenient for everyone, let’s be cleaꦛr. If they have something to hide, then hide it."
