Chase Sexton signs multi-year deal with KTM
In what was the worst kept secret or the hottest rumor of the season, Chase Sexton signs a multi-year with Red Bull Factory KTM Racing team. There has been all kinds of chatter about Chase possibly being unhappy with the Honda bike, just needing a change, or couldn’t take the pressure of Jett moving up to the 450 team. Whatever the motivation was hopefully a fresh start and new faces will help Chase clean up his seemingly mental lapse that led to his string of errors on the tracks that cost him wins and valuable season points.
“I’m extremely excited to join the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing organization. Not only is the equipment top-notch, but the team personnel and their drive to win is, too. From the first time I walked in those doors, Roger [De Coster], Ian [Harrison], the team, and the entire KTM company have been nothing but accommodating. I think we have a bright future together and I’m eager to get to work.”

“Our goal with Chase from the onset is to make him feel welcomed and truly at home with the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team. During these early days, we are working toward preparing a great race package for both Chase and the team to build from. I really think that we can deliver the full factory support system that he longs for and deserves, and I also feel strongly that Chase will continue to elevate the team and our riders to a stronger position.”
