KTM to Enter 250cc Moto GP
KTM Sportmotorcycle AG has confirmed plans to enter the 250cc Road Racing World Championship in the 2005 season with Casey Stoner.
“It is very clear that we have a lot of work in front of us to prepare a competitive bike within the next 6 months,” company officials said in announcing the plan. “The first year will be for testing and to collect experience. Nobody can build a winning bike behind closed doors, so we will follow our successful philosophy of developing bikes under hardest conditions. This can only be in the Road Race World Championship.”
