Red Bull KTM Factory Racing has locked in Dani Pedrosa for his seventh season as a Test Rider.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing has re-signed Dani Pedrosa for the 2025 MotoGP season. The Spaniard will continue in his testing and development role for the Austrian manufacturer.

Pedrosa will enter his seventh year with KTM after joining them in 2019 following his retirement in 2018. During his time with the RC16 Pedrosa has entered as a wildcard on four occasions. In the 2024 MotoGP season at the Spanish Grand Prix, the Spaniard claimed a Sprint Podium as he finished third.

However, KTM has not won a Grand Prix since the 2022 Thai Grand Prix when Miguel Oliveira won in wet conditions.

“It’s a pleasure to take our journey into another year,” Pedrosa said on the announcement of his new KTM contract.

"We know where we need to make improvements, and the effort of the whole factory has not eased at all in making the best bike for the riders to perform on track. I’m looking forward to what we can do for 2025 and the ideas that will come along.”

KTM Motorsports Director, Pit Beirer, stated: “This was a straightforward decision for both parties and that’s a good sign of a strong relationship and trust.

“We really believe in what Dani brings to our MotoGP program on different levels, not only in the saddle of the next generation of the KTM RC16, and this contribution is vital. We know the turnaround we are seeking will come and with Dani as part of the team it will only arrive quicker.”
