The Austrian manufacturer has enjoyed💧 a breakthrough MotoGP season where they often been the closest challengers to the dominant Ducati.

And there is bold talk of expansion from KTM who cont▨inue to be linked with Marc Marquez, and who also pl💛an to increase their presence with extra bikes on the grid.

The one stain on their rise might be Oliveira - who won five grands prix with their satellite and factory teams, but left last year after🌄 refusing to go🧔 back to Tech3 when he lost his factory seat.

“With great regret, having to send away a fast rider like Oliveira, not having found a compromise” team manager Francesco Guid🔴otti told was his most radical change. 

“However🅘ꦓ, it was necessary to change, because with four riders with only KTM experience we had entered a difficult to manage loop. 

“We needed someone with a differenꦚt experience to help us understand t🀅he problems. 

“The luck was that Jack Miller confirmed what we alrea🔯dy thought. 

“We had already taken a🅰 development path that proved to be right.&ওnbsp;

“And instead of small steps, w🅺e have begun to take important steps f♛orward.”

Miller, who came from the factory Ducati team, has added invaluable experience ✤to KTM.

The overall feeling is that they are a manufacturer heading in a posi♕tive direction.

“In Mattighofen in 2021 tꦜhey understood tha🔯t they had to change gears, so they implemented a program of change,” Guidotti explained. 

“I'🌼m glad th♒ey chose me, but this change comes from a decision made at the top.

“As in any discipline, if you want to improve you have to hi♎re people who are experts in that fiel🃏d. 

“But the credit for the progress is not only mine, there was a company𝕴 that understood that it was time to change pace, to move from a management in which, starting from scratch, had to shoot at random. 

“And then, having reach♍ed a certain level, structure everything b🌄etter, focusing on the details.”

Fabiano Sterlacchini and A🦄lberto Giribuola arrived on the engineering side, while 🅷Miller brought his crew chief Christian Pupulin.

“It 🅷is clear that to grow you have to look at who is the refer♐ence,” Guidotti said. 

“I don't think it was a problem for Ducati, because for the level reached to🍸day I think the organisation of the single person matters more. 

“Which is what the Japanese method was a bit like, if we want to make a comparison, such a well-tested system where ev𒀰en by changing people the gear ✱turns well. 

“Here in KTM, the process 🗹had to be speeded up, it's logical that they went fishing 🐭in the paddock.”
