Red Bull KTM Confirms Aaron Plessinger to 2024 Roster
A few months ago, Aaron Plessinger said in a DMXS Radio interview he would be returning to the Red Bull KTM team for another year in 2024. Today, the team has confirmed the Ohio native will return to the team via a press release.
Plessinger joined the team in October 2021 and enters his sixth season in the premier class. The 2024 season will be his third consecutive year with KTM. If you missed that interview Plessinger did with the DMXS crew, make sure to give it a listen as they covered a variety of topics both on and off the track.
While there are rumors of who will complete the Red Bull KTM roster with Plessinger, nothing has yet to be confirmed, although we do know it will not be Cooper Webb. In early July, KTM announced the team and Webb had parted ways, effective immediately.
The following press release is from KTM:
