“Unfortunately we los♒t the most successful rider with KTM, we would have liked to avoid it," Guidotti said about Oliveira.

Oliveira had previously claimed: “We simply had different ways of thinking. The restructuring of the team went hand in ha♑nd with the will to have a rider other than me there.”

Guidotti now has a new duo to lead in his second season as 🎶KTM boss.

“Our te🌸chnicians needed experienced ꦆriders," Guidotti said.

"We now have a mix of different experiences, plus a rookie. But in the end we chose♔ the line-up based on our technical situation.

"The importance is 'fast consistency’. Jack is much more mature. He has moved from his comfort zon𝓀e, which he had in Ducati, and has a good challenge ahead of him. But he's very motivated." 

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pol Espargaro will rejoin KTM for the T♚ech3 GASGAS team alongside Augusto Fernande🌱z.

"Pol was excited to be back," Guidotti said. "Both he and Jack are important to their experience♍ with different brands. And they are also very fast on the flying lap, which we lacked last year. I꧃'m not saying it's the riders' fault, it probably depended on the bike."
