JAKARTA - Francesco Guidotti officially ended his journey as manager of the Red Bull KTM racing team in 2025.

Director of KTM Motorsports Pit Beirer said, Guideotti has provided commitment, enthusiasm and knowledge for the team over the past three years.

"After three years with Francesco and a lot of positive progress and working methods, we moved the team with a different leadership approach," said Beirer in an official statement from KTM, Antara, Sunday, September 29.

Beirer said Guideotti also brought a proven track record into the work team for 2022 and for their second assignment in the Grand Prix race with a KTM color.

For almost three years, he was judged to be able to oversee a fairly large increase both in technical and team aspects. In addition, his personality who is easy to get along helped unite the crew as a whole. He helped KTM win two Grand Prix wins in this period and 12 podium finishes.

Guidotti also directed the team to success in the Sprint race where 11 times the riders under him stood on the podium and won two wins.

Furthermore, Guideotti is also said to have contributed to the company's highest championship position to date when Brad Binder finished fourth in 2023 and KTM became runner-up in the constructors' standings.

However, Beirer said that the Red Bull KTM will enter a new chapter for their ninth season on the MotoGP grid next year, and then ahead of 2027 with updated technical regulations.

"Conducting these changes is not an easy process and we can only thank Francesco for what he has done in our MotoGP story," Beirer said.

"The year 2025 will bring some major changes to the whole program in this tight and exciting sport and we are laying the foundation now to keep moving forward," he added.
