Pit Beirer - Man of steel on how KTM built a race winning MotoGP™ bike from scratch
Could you ask for a better timed podcast guest? Straight off the back of their first AND second MotoGP™ victories we have the man who orchestrated KTM’s rise to the top of the pinnacle of motorcycle road racing, Pit Beirer. As ever, though, we don’t want to *just* get all the trade secrets and what the lowdown is from Mattighofen, Austria, talking to Pit Beirer - head of KTM’s motorsports projects, we want to bring you the story Pit Beirer, the Motocross racing legend. What skills did he develop throughout his racing career that got him where he and KTM are today, what was his first job in the Austrian manufacturer when his ‘new life’ started in the early 2000s? How did he persevere with his steel frame philosophy while almost everyone else was telling him he was wrong? And lastly, when was the exact moment that he and KTM’s top brass decided to start their now race winning MotoGP project? All questions we have answered.Thanks as always for listening, leave a comment down below telling us what you were most surprised to hear about from Pit and of course any suggestions of guests or topics for the future…See you soon!
