JAKARTA - The resignation of Suzuki is feared by some parties will reduce the prestige of MotoGP. Competition in the most prestigious motorcycle racing is considered to be reduced.

However, KTM's team principal, Pit Beirer, disagrees. According to him, MotoGP is still the best product.

"I don't think and don't expect that there will be an effect because of Suzuki's withdrawal," Beirer said in an interview with Speedweek.

Beirer hopes that Suzuki will be the last team to leave MotoGP. However, he could not give a guarantee because it was related to the other team's "kitchen" business.

However, Beirer can confirm that KTM will not follow in Suzuki's footsteps. He said, MotoGP has given positive energy to KTM around the world.

"We are delighted to have a professional partner like Dorna and MotoGP races now broadcast to audiences in an ingenious way, with attractive television images," he said.

"I'm not aware of any discussions to withdraw from another manufacturer, but KTM doesn't have it," continued the boss of the Austria-based factory team.
