The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team has become the latest MotoGP Team to unveil their 2025 riders and livery.
Brad Binder will remain in the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing squad for the 2025 MotoGP season. This will be Binder's sixth season in MotoGP and his sixth year within the factory KTM squad.
However, South Africa will have a new teammate, as MotoGP's new superstar, Pedro Acosta, has been promoted to the factory team. The rookie ended the 2024 MotoGP season in sixth place and was two points behind his new teammate at the end of the year.
Brad Binder, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing: “It is crazy to think that this is my sixth season in MotoGP already. To be honest 2024 was the year where I probably learnt the most. Coming into 2025 I feel that it has made me a much better rider. My goal for the season is to take what I learnt and make that step forward to fight with the guys at the front. We are not far. We finished 2nd in the Constructors championship so we have one left in front of us. When I see how hard people are working at the factory and how much energy there is behind the scenes it is clear we are going to get there.”
Pedro Acosta, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing: “For sure, 2024 was a good year, and we still have some goals that we keep in the pocket. I learned how to control a race, and how to adapt to MotoGP. It was a dream come true coming to the factory team after being in Moto3 and Moto2. Also having Brad as a teammate and helping develop the bike will be a very good point. It will help that he has a lot of experience in the class and I think we will make a good match together. The two main important points for 2025 will be the qualifying and then the first few laps of the race. Last year we saw that we had pace to fight for podiums or wins but we were struggling during qualifying. So, these two points will be the most important things to improve during this season.”
