🛑 🏍 HUGE NEWS MotoGP Today: FIM Finally Announced Brad Binder and Pedro Acosta Not Have Seat at Any Team after KTM Bankrupt
In a shocking turn of events, the MotoGP world was rocked today as FIM delivered an announcement that no one saw coming—Brad Binder and Pedro Acosta, two of the most celebrated riders of recent times, are now left without a team after KTM filed for bankruptcy. Yes, you read that correctly. KTM, the team known for its slogan “Ready to Race,” is now apparently “Ready to Close.”
Rumors have swirled for weeks about the financial struggles of KTM, with reports suggesting they had spent their entire budget for 2024 on orange paint and aerodynamic winglets that didn’t work. Insiders also claim that team engineers were seen Googling “how to make a faster bike” during qualifying sessions, which, in hindsight, may have been the first red flag.
“It’s heartbreaking,” Binder said in a press conference held at what appeared to be a hastily arranged garage sale of KTM parts. “I never thought I’d have to test ride scooters to pay my bills.”
Pedro Acosta, meanwhile, took a more philosophical approach. “I always dreamed of riding with the best. I didn’t realize that dream would include riding the bus to my next job interview.”
Fans around the globe have expressed their disbelief, with some jokingly suggesting that Binder and Acosta team up to form “KTM-ino,” a DIY MotoGP team run out of a backyard workshop. Others have called on Red Bull, KTM’s long-time sponsor, to step in and save the day. However, sources say Red Bull is too busy designing limited-edition cans featuring Verstappen’s face.
While MotoGP loses two of its brightest stars (for now), industry experts are already speculating on their next moves. Will Binder make a surprise switch to Formula 1 as a pit crew trainee? Will Acosta dominate the world of electric scooters? One thing is certain—MotoGP may never be the same again.
