Red Bull KTM Factory Racing has announced that Dani Pedrosa has signed a new one-year contract, allowing him to continue as a test rider in 2025.

Pedrosa’s partnership with KTM began in 2019 after his retirement from full-time racing, and he quickly became an important figure in KTM's development journey. Over the years, Pedrosa has made four wildcard appearances as a KTM test rider, significantly impacting MotoGP technical advancements. At 39 years old, Pedrosa will continue to bring valuable insights to the testing programs as the KTM Factory Team aims to make further progress for the upcoming seasons.

Dani Pedrosa: “It’s a pleasure to take our journey into another year. We know where we need to make improvements, and the effort of the whole factory has not eased at all in making the best bike for the riders to perform on track. I’m looking forward to what we can do for 2025 and the ideas that will come along.”

Pit Beirer, KTM Motorsports Director: “This was a straightforward decision for both parties and that’s a good sign of a strong relationship and trust. We really believe in what Dani brings to our MotoGP program on different levels, not only in the saddle of the next generation of the KTM RC16, and this contribution is vital. We know the turnaround we are seeking will come and with Dani as part of the team it will only arrive quicker.”
