Maverick Vinales will leave Aprilia to join the rebranded Tech3 KTM MotoGP squad alongside Enea Bastianini for 2025.
As revealed by Motorsport.com on Wednesday, the Spaniard will end his three-year stint with Aprilia, which has yielded one grand prix victory in Austin this year and a total of seven podium finishes. He will join the structure currently managed by Tech3 and KTM's parent company Pierer Mobility Group, which currently competes under the GasGas banner, but will be rebranded under the KTM marque.
'The team's label for 2025 says it all: it is time to strengthen the KTM name again and we couldn't think of a better way to bring this kind of value to the company than for Enea and Maverick to go full Red Bull orange.'
