World Champions KTM Pro Racing Reveal EnduroGP 2025 Lineup
Two EnduroGP World Championship titles in 2024 firmly put KTM Pro Racing as a team to be reconned with – in 2025 the Italian squad retain Junior ISDE champion Max Ahiln, moving up to E2 class, and Youth protagonists Italian Valentino Corsi and the Frenchman Romain Dagna.
Despite the Italian squad being just three years old KTM Pro Racing has established itself as a force to be reconned with in the EnduroGP World Championship. Two convincing world titles with Max Ahlin overall in the Junior category (plus J2 and ISDE Junior victory with Sweden) and Manuel Verzeroli in Youth 125 category showed the small but perfectly formed squad was a big-hitter.
In 2025 the team has a revised lineup as they face the opening round of the Italian Absolute Enduro Championship this coming weekend in Colliano, and the Enduro World Championship, and the Six Days, this year very close to the team’s home in Northern Italy.
Ahead of that the KTM Pro Racing team led by Alex Belometti unveiled itself at the Alpar System headquarters in Leno with 23-year-old Swedish rider Max Ahlin joined by two new young and talented teammates.
Alongside Ahlin stands Italian Valentino Corsi and the Frenchman Romain Dagna, both under 20-years old and riders with an already proven record at world championship level. Ahlin this year moving up to race in the E2 class with KTM 350 EXC-F, while Corsi and Dagna will both contest the Youth class, both on team’s special KTM 125 XC-W.

The team is led by Alex Belometti and Stefano Baldussi on the technical side. Alongside them, another name of great importance, that of Fabio Farioli, in the role of Racing Consultant.
KTM Pro Racing relies on the support of KTM Italia, plus a significant input from KTM Farioli, the factory team behind world champions Josep Garcia and Andrea Verona as well as Mani Lettenbichler and Billy Bolt.
Other the main team partners include Azzola Group, Impresa Bergamelli, Perico Renato, Elettro Impianti 2000, Aignep, Moto Club Lumezzane and technical partners on the bikes themselves.
In his third season with the KTM 350 EXC-F, Ahlin will build on his title-winning 2024 season and move up to the seniors to race in a highly competitive E2 EnduroGP class. Already winners, Roman Dagna (below) and Valentino Corsi have tough acts to follow but now doubt have the talent to continue this team’s winning form.
Completing the team line-up for the Assoluti Italian series and the GP of Italy in Darfo Boario Terme, are former young motocross rider Giulio Nava and the two supported riders for the World Championship, Sebastian Olsen (Youth) and Robin Wiss (Open 4T).
In just one week, on March 1-2, the team will be in Campania in Colliano, in the province of Salerno, for the first round of the Italian Absolute Championship followed two weeks later at the second round in Tuscany in Camaiore Massarosa (LU).
Then it won’t be long after that we all head to Fafe in Portugal the opening of the EnduroGP World Championship on April 7-9.
Alex Belometti Team Manager: “Our adventure at the highest levels of Italian enduro, EnduroGP and Six Days continues. After three years of work and experience we are one of the top level teams in the EnduroGP World Championship whose main goal has always been to grow and bring the young and promising riders of enduro to success.
“Once again a double challenge awaits us with Ahlin making his debut in the EnduroGP E2 class, and Corsi and Dagna in Youth class. Corsi and Dagna, like other riders before them, chose us for the jump to the world championship in a class full of protagonists and very fast riders. We have all the credentials to be protagonists and also this season with the aim of demonstrating all our talent. We are proud of our team and of all the guys who make it up.”
