Tech3 MotoGP boss Herve Poncharal says the future for his squad is \u201cbright\u201d and hopes to continue as a KTM satellite outfit beyond next year.<\/p>\n
The Tech3 team has been KTM\u2019s satellite squad since 2019, following a 20-year stint as partner to Yamaha in the premier class.<\/p>\n
The switch to KTM<\/a> allowed Herve Poncharal\u2019s team to become race winners, with it scoring two victories in 2020 with Miguel Oliveira<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tech3 address rumour of KTM split<\/p>\n But Tech3\u2019s future has been subject to rumours in recent months, with paddock gossip suggesting a possible Honda tie-up for the 2027 850cc regulation change.<\/p>\n These have so far been shot down by Poncharal, who noted during the recent German Grand Prix that his ambition is to renew with KTM.<\/p>\n \u201cThe future of Tech3 is bright, as usual,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are really working on staying with our Austrian manufacturer, who are our friends.<\/p>\n \u201cWe did a great seven years together already and I\u2019ve never been thinking about doing anything different in the near future.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, we are waiting to hear what Pit [Beirer, KTM motorsport boss] thinks, what KTM is planning for 27-31. But hopefully we will be there with KTM on our bike.\u201d<\/p>\n KTM\u2019s future has been something of a question mark for much of this year as the company navigated its way through a major financial crisis.<\/p>\n But new majority shareholders Bajaj have since publicly acknowledged the importance of KTM\u2019s MotoGP programme to the brand, while Beirer says 2027 planning is already underway.<\/p>\n
