Maverick Vinales says KTM will be solely responsible if he leaves MotoGP at the end of 2026. The Tech3 rider found out KTM’s plans from the press, not the team itself, with nobody sitting him down to explain how things would play out. KTM also excluded him from Monday’s Brno 850cc Pirelli test, instead sending Acosta, Pol Espargaro and Dani Pedrosa, while holding an option on him through June that limits his options elsewhere.
