Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Manuel Lettenbichler has finished second overall at the Roof of Africa in Lesotho, bringing his 2025 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship season to a strong close at the final round of this year’s series. Arriving as the newly crowned 2025 world champion after securing the title one round early at his home race in Germany, the KTM 300 EXC rider delivered three consistent days of racing to round out another exceptional year in hard enduro.
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing are pleased to announce that Andrea Verona will join the team’s EnduroGP lineup for the 2026 FIM EnduroGP World Championship. The Italian star will compete in the Enduro2 category aboard the KTM 450 EXC-F, alongside reigning EnduroGP Champion Josep Garcia, who will continue to contest Enduro1 for the team. The signing extends Verona’s five-year long relationship within the company.
The KTM Track Battle features three riders—Mani Lettenbichler, Daniel “Chucky” Sanders, and Carson Brown—competing across four KTM motorcycles from different segments, including the KTM 250 EXC-F enduro bike, a high-revving 2-stroke motocross machine, the KTM 690 Enduro R dual-sport bike, and the KTM 890 Adventure R adventure motorcycle, to determine the fastest rider and bike in a high-adrenaline race showcasing speed, skill, and performance.
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.
