French outlet Paddock GP reports KTM could be willing to pay compensation to end its contract with Maverick Viñales, 31, early. Since his July 2025 Sachsenring crash, a second ligament tear was found during the summer break, keeping him sidelined with Pol Espargaró filling in as his replacement.
I've seen this pattern before — when an injury drags on, the contract talk always turns into a money conversation. Viñales has ten wins to his name, and it's wild that the Sachsenring crash is still haunting him this long. I just want to feel that throttle response back in his hands.
