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.

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.
