 Kallio finished inside the points for all five races with the team, to wrap-up 2015 on a slightly better note, to an otherwise very unsatisfactory season, down in 15th position, with just 72 points.KTM confirmed Kallio as their lead test rider on 27 October 2015, for the upcoming MotoGP project, in preparation for the season.Despite missing out on a full-time race return for the 2017 season, Kallio would at least be rewarded for his testing efforts.
