Bastianini & Viñales Confirmed at Red Bull KTM Tech3 from 2025
In an exciting move for MotoGP™ fans, KTM has announced a completely new rider line-up for the re-branded Red Bull KTM Tech3 team starting in 2025, featuring Italian rider Enea Bastianini and Spanish rider Maverick Viñales. Both riders will be equipped with full-factory KTM RC16 machinery, marking a new era for KTM’s factory presence in the premier class of motorcycle racing.
The multi-year agreement will see Bastianini and Viñales joining the Red Bull KTM Tech3 squad, forming a formidable quartet alongside Brad Binder and Pedro Acosta from the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team. This strategic rebranding and bolstering of talent underscore KTM's commitment to enhancing its competitive edge in MotoGP™.
Enea Bastianini, who made his world championship debut a decade ago with a KTM RC4, has shown remarkable progression throughout his career. Bastianini's journey began with a victory in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, and he went on to secure six victories and over 30 podium finishes in Moto3™ and Moto2™. His dedication and skill culminated in winning the 2020 Moto2™ World Championship. Since moving up to MotoGP™ in 2021, the Italian has continued to impress, amassing six wins and 12 podiums. As a race winner in 2024, Bastianini has proven his adaptability and competitiveness across different manufacturers.
Maverick Viñales, a seasoned and talented rider, brings a wealth of experience to the team. Viñales, the second-ever Moto3™ World Champion for KTM in 2013, has consistently delivered top performances throughout his career. Over four seasons in Moto3™ and Moto2™, he secured four consecutive top-three championship finishes. Viñales made his MotoGP™ debut in 2015 and quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with, achieving his first MotoGP™ win the following year. Over his decade-long career in the premier class, Viñales has accumulated 10 wins and 35 podium finishes, along with two championship bronze medals. Remarkably, he has secured at least one Grand Prix victory in seven of his ten years in MotoGP™.
The addition of Bastianini and Viñales to the Red Bull KTM Tech3 team is expected to enhance KTM's competitiveness and strategic depth in MotoGP™. Both riders’ experience and proven track records make them valuable assets in KTM’s quest for dominance in the sport. Fans and analysts alike eagerly anticipate the performance of the re-branded team in the upcoming seasons, as KTM continues to strengthen its presence and impact in the MotoGP™ championship.# Bastianini & Viñales Confirmed at Red Bull KTM Tech3 from 2025
