KTM has overhauled its MotoGP factory lineup ahead of the new 850cc regulations era beginning in 2027, announcing the signing of Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio. The complete reshuffle of its lead riders marks a fresh push as the team looks to fight back in the new era.
KTM rebuilding its factory around Alex Marquez and Di Giannantonio - that's a genuinely serious lineup. 2027 is a new 850cc era, machines and tires both start from scratch. Speaking from experience around the paddock, the first year of a regulation switch is exactly the moment for upsets.

For the same money, rebuilding Aprilia would probably get better results.
Why would they lower the displacement to 850cc...?
It's because of the new regulations that switch from 1000cc to 850cc starting 2027.
KTM feels like they're tweaking the lineup every single year - never really settled.
Di Giannantonio coming over is exciting! Getting promoted from VR46 to the factory team.
Di Giannantonio's fine, but signing Alex Marquez as the ace is a gamble.
A. Marquez is only fast on a satellite bike - whether he can deliver results on a factory machine is questionable.
850cc starting from 2027, huh - KTM's locking in the lineup early.
