Red Bull KTM Factory Racing is pleased to announce that Andrea Verona has signed a multi-year contract extension. The Italian most recently claimed a historic individual overall victory at the 100th edition of the 6DAYS FIM Enduro of Nations, while also helping Team Italy secure the World Trophy title. This followed his third consecutive FIM Enduro2 World Championship crown.
Since entering the EnduroGP World Championship in 2017, the 27-year-old soon established himself as one of the leading riders in the series, with his latest Enduro2 title secured at this year’s final round in Wales. The KTM 450 EXC-F rider also finished as runner-up in the overall EnduroGP standings in 2026 after consistently challenging at the front throughout the seven-round series.
Verona carried that form into the 6DAYS in Portugal, where he delivered an exceptional performance to claim his maiden individual overall victory. After winning the opening day, Andrea maintained his pace and consistency across the remaining five days of competition to secure the overall win, while also helping Team Italy to back-to-back World Trophy success. The result rounded out an impressive season for the KTM rider, who continues to add to his already long list of achievements.
With his future secured with Red Bull KTM, Verona will return to EnduroGP competition in 2027, contesting the eight-round FIM EnduroGP World Championship before taking on the 6DAYS FIM Enduro of Nations. With further championship success firmly in his sights, the nine-time world champion and the team are looking forward to continuing their successful partnership and challenging for more victories and titles in the seasons ahead.
Andrea Verona: “I’m really happy to have agreed a deal with Red Bull KTM to continue together for the next few years. I believe they’re the most competitive team and brand in the EnduroGP paddock, and we’ve already achieved some great results together. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished so far and confident that we can achieve even more in the future. What I really like is that we’re all working towards the same goal, which is to win. Everyone, from the mechanics and engineers to the suspension technicians and the whole team, is pushing in the same direction. I feel that winning is just as important to them as it is to me, and that’s really special. I feel at home with the team and with the KTM company, so I’m more than happy to continue this journey together.”
Fabio Farioli – Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Enduro Team Manager: “We’re really happy that Andrea will be staying with us for the coming years. We’ve worked together for a long time now – in six years we have missed the title only once – and it’s been great to see how much he’s developed and what we’ve been able to achieve together. He’s had another fantastic season, winning his third consecutive Enduro2 world title and taking an incredible individual victory at the 6DAYS. Andrea is a very hard worker, always pushing to improve, and he has a great relationship with everyone in the team. We know each other well, we work well together, and I’m sure the future will bring many more successes.”
