Yamaha admit big worry over KTM’s financial problems
“Maybe I haℱve a hard ꧟time believing it completely."

Yamaha’s MotoGP boss has spoken about his concern over𝓰𝐆 KTM’s money woes.
KTM shocked the motorcycle community by entering into self♏-administration late last year, with debts of around €1.8 billion.
They have insi꧂sted that it won’t impact theirꦜ racing programme in MotoGP.
“It is neither a good case for them nor a goodܫ case for us,” Yamaha team manager Maio Mere🗹galli told .
“What I know comes from what I have read.
“I have a hard time imagining the consequences.ℱ They ke🍷ep denying that the racing will have problems.
“Maybe I have a hard time bel🐷ieving it completely.
“The Japanese are also worried because this situation is not good for anyone. We have never addressed the ꦬsubject in detail♛.”
Yamaha have themselves dealt with big problems although🍷 theirs remain within the boundaries of racing.
The addition of the Pramac satellite team will buoy Yamaha this season, giving them double the♐ quantity of riders to provide data.
However, the obvious problems at KTM are a problem for their rival manufa🐼cturers in MotoGP, none of whom want to see a drop-out similar to Suzuki𝄹’s.
KTM are currently acting on a 🍒self-imposed 100-point plan to deal with their financial issues while remaining committed to MotoGP.
But they have been unable to halt the rumours linking their star ma𒅌n Pedro Acosta to a move elsewhere.
Ducati are among the m▨any suitors should Acosta look elsewhere.
