While MotoGP and the entire sporting world questions the future of KTM Pit Beirer, on the sidelines of the 2024 season finale in Barcelona, clarified the new organizational chart following the departure of Fabiano Sterlacchini and Francesco Guidotti.
"The tasks will be divided between Sebastian Risse, the Technical Director on the track, and Aki Ajo, the new KTM Team Manager.
We made a clean break here. With Fabiano, we tried to do everything from home and from the track.
On the track, Sebastian is now 100 percent responsible for our technical decisions together with Aki Ajo.
At home we have a very strong team, with Kurt Trieb in charge of the engines and Wolfgang Felber for the chassis.
These are joined by Kevin Ranner, who heads our test team program with Dani Pedrosa."
From Ducati-style centralization that entrusts major decisions to Gigi Dall'Igna to more widespread responsibility, then.
"All the names mentioned can be seen almost as a committee that makes decisions on the next steps after each race.
There will no longer be a one-man-show in KTM's MotoGP program as there was in the days of Technical Director Sterlacchini.
It's about taking the next steps as a team.
Because I firmly believe that in a MotoGP project one person cannot decide everything," Beirer concluded.
