"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Pol Espargaró made his second wildcard appearance of the season in MotoGP at the Austrian GP. The rider competed in Spielberg with a different version of the RC16, while preparations for the 2025 season are already underway.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Quoted by the newspaper AS, the Spanish rider from Red Bull KTM said it is still unclear if this will be the base for the 2025 bike: ‘<em>We don't know if this will be the prototype for next year, it's one of the options we have. We used one in Mugello and another in Austria; it might be a mix of both</em>’.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>What is certain is that by racing on track, Espargaró was able to gather more data outside the testing context, in a development process he described as: ‘<em>We try to gather as much information as possible; it's like a puzzle that is slowly coming together</em>’.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Naturally, KTM aims to achieve titles in MotoGP, following its success in other disciplines from rallies to motocross. To do this, it will need to dethrone Ducati, which currently dominates the premier class overwhelmingly.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->"
