Colin Veijer will race in Moto2 next year and will do so with the Red Bull KTM Ajo team. The 19-year-old Dutchman is currently 4th in the Moto3 championship in his second season in the World Championship and has already managed to win two races.
"I am so happy to have signed with Aki and the Red Bull KTM Ajo team in Moto2 - Colin's words - KTMis present in all GP classes and this is a big step for my career. It is such a renowned team and their past results speak for themselves. It will definitely not be easy to move up from Moto3, but I will prepare myself as best I can. 2025 is the right time to take the step, also because physically Moto2 suits me better. At the same time, I realize that we are still only halfway through the current season and I will continue to keep my full concentration to achieve the best possible result in this year's Moto3 championship."
Team Principal Aki Ajo commented, "I am very happy to have Collin on board, as we have been following him for many years. He has shown great progress and professionalism and took his first steps in our program by participating in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup. In his two seasons in Moto3 he has shown that he is a rider with a bright future ahead of him on the world stage. I also respect his focus and sacrifice, as his life is dedicated to achieving his goals at the highest level. It is a pleasure to continue the work of the KTM Academy and to keep pushing to get the maximum potential out of the riders."
