KTM Returns to MotoGP Racing 2017
KTM CEO Stefan Pierer said that the decision to return to MotoGP motorcycle racing was influenced by the fact they were bringing into production the KTM RC16 motorcycle.
Stefan Pierer stated that with this track-only motorcycle in production, and the fact that the technical specifications of the motorcycle are in keeping with the 2016 regulations of MotoGP, it made sense for them to make a return to MotoGP racing.
