Red Bull KTM Factory Racing will again rely on the expertise of MotoGP Legend Dani Pedrosa for the 2025 season. The Spanish rider has extended his crucial role in developing and enhancing KTM’s RC16 motorcycle at the pinnacle of Grand Prix racing.

Pedrosa’s collaboration with KTM began in 2019 after he retired from full-time competition, and he quickly became instrumental in advancing the RC16. Since then, he has made four wildcard appearances as a test rider, with his influence on the bike’s technical development growing steadily.

At 39, Pedrosa will continue to bring his unique insights to KTM’s testing program and R&D efforts in Austria as Red Bull KTM Factory Racing aims to advance in MotoGP for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
