Tech3 KTM has announced the signing of Senna Agius to their team for the 2027 MotoGP season. The Australian rider, who has stood out in the Moto2 category, will join the team alongside Luca Marini, creating a combination of experience and youth that hopes to be competitive in the new era of the championship.
Agius has proven to be one of the emerging talents in Moto2, accumulating several victories and podiums. At just 20 years old, the young rider has already earned his place thanks to his consistent performance and rapid improvement, aiming to become one of the most relevant names in motorcycling.
The signing, which was already anticipated, is a personal decision by the new team director, Guenther Steiner, former team principal of the Haas Formula 1 team. Agius’s incorporation becomes particularly significant considering the absence of Jack Miller, who has recently moved to the Superbikes championship, and the arrival of the prestigious Adelaide Grand Prix next year, which requires Australian presence on the grid.
His path to MotoGP began with an impressive second place in the European Moto2 championship in 2022 before capturing the title the following year. Then, in 2024, he made the jump to the Moto2 world championship, where he secured a podium in his debut season, thereby demonstrating his credentials for the elite of motorcycling.
Agius expressed his satisfaction at the new challenge: ‘Today a lifelong dream has come true: reaching MotoGP. I am very grateful to Guenther and the entire Tech3 team for believing in me and giving me this opportunity. I am ready to learn and give my all with this team.’
Steiner, for his part, commented on the decision: ‘We are convinced that Senna has the necessary qualities to make a significant leap to MotoGP. He has shown impressive speed and maturity in Moto2, and his commitment to continuous improvement is notable. We want to build a team for a completely new era of MotoGP, and we believe that Senna is a fundamental part of that future.’
