They will be team-mates for the first time in their career next season, joining their experience and efforts to offer the best results to the team in the premier class.
Mitch Covington (Monster Energy vice president of sport marketing): "We're excited to go again with our long-term partner KRT. It's been a difficult year with injuries, but it happens. Unfortunately it's part of the sport when you have riders who are passionate about the sport and really do what it takes to win so sometimes you're going to have injuries and accidents we've been in the sport a long time and we understand that. We hope for an injury-free season next year.
"We're really excited for Romain to stay in the Monster family moving over from one Monster team to another should be a really smooth transition. Romain has been a champion for our brand for a long time now and we're wishing him the best in his new team. It's a very strong team with Romain and Clement. We have two of the most experienced riders in the series they are both very fast and we have high expectations from both."
Thierry Chizat Suzzoni (KRT team Owner): "Since 2014 were working in collaboration with Monster Energy and we are very pleased to continue with such a renowned partner who has a very strong image in motorsports. Its a very long time partner who follows us with great loyalty even in difficult periods such as like we had this season.
