New information from Friꦦday’s creditors’ meeting regarding KTM’s insolvency proceedings state the brand’s MotoGP project is “plaღnned” to be axed to reduce costs.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Reports on Friday morning emerged that KTM was being allowed to continue🦄 in its current form following a first creditors’ hಞearing at the Regional Court in Austria.

Investors have expressed interest in a €700 million payout to help KTM, as it looks to restructure in self-administration on th🀅e backdrop of at least €1.8 billion in debt.

Staff layoff forecasts have also been reduced fro🌸🦩m 500 to 300, while November and December salaries will be paid - if all goes well - by the end of January.

But initial reports made 🧔no mention of where KTM’s MotoGP pro🌃ject sat amidst the ongoing crisis.

The brand 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:released a vague statement on Friday afternoon claiming it was “not letting off the throttle” i🦂nto 2025, though⛎ did not mention its grand prix programmes.

The financial crisis in the company has already impacted Moto2 and Moto3, with the GASGAS and 🃏Husqvarna brands disappearing from the grid for 2025 - though numerous figureheads have said previously that the MotoGP project will continue as planned.

However, information released by creditor protection organisation Alpenlandischer Kreditorenverband (AKV), stated under reorganisation measures that “in order to reduce co✤sts, the withdrawal from Mot🎶oGP, Moto2/Moto3 is planned”.

No timeline has been given for this by AKV.
