Tech3 has confirmed that KTM will remain its manufacturer of choice from the 2027 MotoGP season.
The partnership began in 2019 after Tech3 switched from Yamaha to KTM, with the satellite squad serving as the Austrian manufacturer’s established second team.
The announcement means Tech3 will continue to operate as a “key extension of KTM’s factory effort”, with support remaining aligned with that of the factory team.
Tech3, now owned by former Haas Formula 1 team manager Gunether Steiner, stated: “In motorsport, the strongest partnerships are often the ones you already know inside out.
“With KTM and Tech3, we’re not starting from zero. Thanks to all the work by Hervé Poncharal and the team over the past few years we have a solid foundation with KTM, and that gives us a real advantage as we head into a completely new regulatory era.
“For both sides, this is about building on what already works. That continuity puts us in the best possible position to adapt quickly and stay competitive when the new rules come in.”
Pit Beirer, KTM Motorsports Director added: “We’re very pleased to continue our journey together with Tech3.
“This year marks a new chapter for the team, in line with the dynamic growth of MotoGP. We’ve aligned our strategy and ambitions, and we’re heading into the future with real excitement to keep pushing and making a difference in this championship.
“A special thanks to Guenther Steiner and the entire Tech3 Team for their loyal commitment and passion for this project. That dedication is a key part of our strength as a group.
“There is strong belief in the factory, and together we look at 2027 and beyond with full focus and the clear objective to compete at the very highest level.”
