The Catalan rider Daniel Pedrosa, 39, will continue to be a test rider for the Austrian manufacturer KTM during the 2025 season, as announced today by those responsible for Mattighofen.
Thus, the ‘Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’ team will have the experience of a MotoGP legend like Dani Pedrosa, who has expanded his relationship with the central European factory to continue the development of the KTM RC 16, a work that began in the 2019 season, when he retired from active competition.
Pedrosa started at KTM in the 2019 season, when he retired from active competition.
Pedrosa has made four appearances as a ‘wildcard’ (guest rider) since taking on the role of factory tester, and as his influence on the technical evolution of MotoGP has deepened and become more significant.
The three-time world champion rider will thus continue to contribute his particular vision within the testing and R&D program in Austria, with the intention of ensuring that the factory motorcycles take the necessary step in their evolution to live up to their competition the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
