LONDON - Former MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi believes KTM can be genuine title contenders for the world championship in 2020 and said Brad Binder's victory at the Czech Republic Grand Prix is proof of how far they have come.
Asked during a virtual news conference on Thursday ahead of Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix if KTM could win the championship, Yamaha's Rossi said:"Yes... why not, because their improvement compared to last year is impressive.""KTM has put a big effort into its MotoGP programme. Already at Jerez they were competitive and at Brno I think that without the crash of Pol they could have arrived first and second," Rossi added.
Binder said he was keen to hit the track at the Red Bull Ring in Austria, where rain is predicted over the weekend.
