to stick these four hungry
guys together for our MotoGP
program," said Pit Beirer, KTM

and Miguel have a produc-
tive working relationship and
have shown the talent and the
desire to win races through
all stages of Grand Prix. We
believe they have the determi-
nation necessary to push our
MotoGP project forward. The
same goes for Red Bull KTM
Tech3 where we're happy to
bring Danilo into the family."
