MotoGP began the countdown to next season less than two days after the close of the 2025 campaign with a short afternoon of sunny testing work at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit. A condensed period of laps took place in Spain, in the wake of the Valencian Grand Prix. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Pedro Acosta was the fastest KTM RC16 rider with the 5th best lap from the four-and-a-half-hour window and was a marginal 0.2 of a second from the top slot.
2025 MotoGP came to an end under blue skies in Valencia and on a bright note for Red Bull KTM as Pedro Acosta challenged for another GP podium and sealed 4th place in the world. The final Grand Prix of the season took place in front of a capacity crowd in eastern Spain and saw three KTM RC16s classify in the top ten as Brad Binder rode to P8 and Enea Bastianini posted P10 after 27 laps.
Pedro Acosta completed the podium double at a sunny and temperate Algarve International Circuit by sliding his Red Bull KTM RC16 to a strong 3rd place today for the Portuguese Grand Prix and the 21st episode of MotoGP this year. The Spaniard battled for the top three and grabbed 16 points to complement his P2 from the Saturday Sprint. Elsewhere the KTM GP Academy posted a notable result with Collin Veijer walking the Moto2™ rostrum for the first time in his rookie season.
Former FIM MX2 World Champion, Andrea Adamo, will embark on the next step of his impressive career progression with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing by steering the KTM 450 SX-F in the MXGP class for 2026.
