Dani Pedrosa will start his first MotoGP race since 2021 in this year's Spanish GP thanks to a wildcard appearance with KTM.
Pedrosa's debut grand prix start for KTM was eventful as he was involved in a clash with Aprilia test rider
in the 2021 Styrian GP, when the Italian rode into Pedrosa's stricken motorcycle unsighted and it ignited into a huge fireball.Hoping for a smoother outcome to Pedrosa's last MotoGP start, KTM team manager Francesco Guidotti said:"It's fantastic news that Dani wants to refresh himself with MotoGP this season and Jerez makes good sense as it's a popular place for us to test and, also, he knows the place very well.
"It will be an ideal opportunity for him to get more information for the future development of our race bike and we look forward to having him with us in the pitbox.""Dani is a strong guy with a strong mentality and we always said when he wanted to do a wildcard then we'd be happy to make that happen," added Pit Beirer, KTM motorsports director.
"The perfect 'test' is always a race situation. If we can work on future development parts then it is super-important and I'm very happy that Dani will race again."and updated livery alongside Binder and Miller, the latter joining from Ducati on a two-year deal. The Austrian manufacturer has been utilising a partnership with the Red Bull Formula 1 squad at its base in Milton Keynes to develop the aerodynamic package of the RC16 MotoGP bike, as part of its plan to climb the MotoGP pecking order after finishing fourth in the world constructors' championship last year.
