🛑 🏍 HUGE NEWS MotoGP Today: KTM Red Bull Drop 2/3 of Staff for Bankrupt, Including Legendary Ex-Racer Test Role and Main Racer

In what can only be described as the most “unforgettable” day in MotoGP history, KTM Red Bull has shocked the racing world by dropping a whopping 2/3 of its staff. Yes, you read that right—more than half the team is now on a permanent pit stop, with pink slips replacing their usual gear.

The move comes as the team reportedly struggles to “balance the budget” after what some sources are calling “the most expensive crash in MotoGP history” (and no, it wasn’t on the track). The financial mismanagement has not only left employees scrambling for new jobs but has also led to the ousting of a legendary ex-racer who was serving in a test role. Fans are mourning the loss, but insiders claim the role had already been downgraded to “testing patience” rather than bikes.

Adding fuel to the fire, the team’s main racer has also been shown the door. While KTM’s official statement cited “restructuring,” rumors abound that it might have something to do with a recent incident involving a race, a questionable overtaking maneuver, and a budget-busting repair bill.

MotoGP fans, naturally, have turned to social media to share their outrage (and memes). One viral post shows the team’s pit crew holding “Will Tune Engines for Food” signs. Another features the now-former main racer photoshopped into a pizza delivery uniform, captioned, “From apex predator to apex pizza cutter.”

As KTM Red Bull races to salvage what’s left of its reputation, experts predict a rocky road ahead. With a skeleton crew and a questionable financial strategy, the team may soon be fighting for the back of the grid rather than the podium.
