The young Moto2 rider, Senna Agius, will join the Tech3 KTM team for the 2027 MotoGP season, as recently announced. This much-anticipated decision has been driven by Guenther Steiner, the new team director and former director of the Haas Formula 1 team.
With Jack Miller‘s move to the Superbikes championship and the arrival of the Adelaide Grand Prix, an Australian rider was sought to fill the grid, which favored Agius’s signing.
Agius has proven to be one of the standout talents in Moto2, with several victories and podiums highlighting his skills. At just 20 years old, he has stood out for his speed and consistency, and he is currently fighting for a spot on the podium in the 2026 championship.
His career began in the European Moto2, where he was runner-up in 2022 and achieved the championship the following year. He then made the leap to the World Moto2 in 2024, securing a podium in his debut season.
His signing with Tech3 will complete the team’s lineup, which also includes Luca Marini. These two riders will represent a combination of experience and youth in a new era of MotoGP, marked by the introduction of new regulations and machinery.
Agius has expressed his excitement for this opportunity: ‘Today a dream I have pursued my whole life has come true: to reach MotoGP. I am immensely grateful to Guenther and everyone at Tech3 for believing in me. I am ready to learn and become the best version of myself with this team.’
Steiner has highlighted Agius’s qualities, emphasizing his determination and attitude for success. ‘We are building a team for a new era of MotoGP and Senna is an exciting part of this future,’ adds Steiner, who looks forward to seeing Agius’s growth in this new challenge.
