Come ormai è abbastanza chiaro da un paio di settimane, la KTM ha deciso di modificare la sua struttura manageriale in MotoGP a partire dalla prossima stagione e questa mattina, subito dopo il Gran Premio d'Indonesia, ha ufficializzato l'addio del team manager Francesco Guidotti al termine del campionato in corso.

MotoGP: The decision was being contemplated, and the official announcement was given today. Beirer: "These changes are never easy. We thank Francesco for what he's done for us in the MotoGP."

Aki Ajo has been one of the most successful team managers since Moto2 and Moto3, but the Finn will step up to MotoGP with KTM following Francesco Guidotti’s departure, which was announced on Sunday evening.

Red Bull KTM has confirmed that Team Manager Francesco Guidotti will be leaving the team at the end of the 2024 MotoGP season.
