Konig, 19, made his WSBK debut in last year's Mandalika season finale aboard a Pedercini Kawasaki ZX-10RR, making the step up directly from the entry-level World Supersport 300 class.
In 2022, Konig will contest a full season for the first time aboard Orelac's solo ZX-10RR, replacing Isaac Vinales. He will be the first full-time Czech WSBK racer since Ondrej Jezek in 2018.
