Just please don't go under, don't want to lose the orange.
Was KTM's financial situation really that dire...?
Poaching from rival BMW of all companies is blatant, lol.
Poaching talent right from a rival is very on-brand for KTM though.
They were expanding aggressively and riding high not long ago, and now this fall. Such is the rise and fall of fortunes.
