Alex's transfer is honestly huge. A man who was 2nd in the standings last year is giving up his current Gresini and choosing factory KTM. You can feel how serious KTM is, bringing this contract into the first year of the new 850cc era. When machine and rider click, this guy will show insane speed.

Does the switch to 850cc mean the regulations are changing?

I get the added firepower, but there's no guarantee the machine's actually fast once it switches to 850cc.

Exactly, even with a great rider, it means nothing if the GP26's not properly dialed in.

Pulling a proven #2-ranked rider away from the Ducati camp hurts the other teams too.

So he's leaving Gresini after 4 seasons, that's long enough to grow genuinely attached.

Alex being the first reinforcement for the new 850cc era, you can feel the seriousness.

KTM landing last season's runner-up in the standings for their factory team, that's a massive addition.
