Two Ducati riders: KTM gets Marquez and Di Giannantonio

KTM is the third manufacturer for which the younger Marquez brother will drive in the “premier class”. Before Ducati, he was already at home at Honda. However, he already drove with the Mattighofen team in the Moto3 World Championship in 2013.

“We are incredibly proud and happy that we have secured an extraordinary talent like Alex Marquez for us. He not only brings outstanding skills and racing tactics, but also determination and a winning mentality that fit our DNA perfectly. Together we are pursuing a clear goal: to take the KTM RC16 to the next level and fight at the top in MotoGP,” says Motorsport Director Pit Beirer.

Marquez teammate known

KTM has also announced the second rider for the factory bike, who also comes from the Ducati warehouse. It is the VR46 pilot Fabio Di Giannantonio. The manufacturer is new for the Italian, but the collaboration with Marquez is not because of their time together at Gresini. With the victory at the Catalunya GP, “Diggia” is currently in third place in the World Championship.
