Senna Agius, a prominent Moto2 rider, will join the Tech3 KTM team for the MotoGP 2027 season. This addition has been recently confirmed and is considered a long-awaited step for the team.
Agius, who has proven to be one of the most promising young talents in the Moto2 championship, will share the track with Luca Marini, thus solidifying a team that combines experience with youth. The decision to sign Agius was made by the new team director, Guenther Steiner, known for his career as the head of the Haas team in Formula 1.
The need for an Australian rider on the grid becomes evident considering Jack Miller‘s move to the superbike championship and the arrival of the prestigious Adelaide Grand Prix that will take place soon.
At just 20 years old, Agius has already achieved several podiums and victories in his Moto2 career, standing out for his speed and consistency. His rise began in the European championship, where he was the runner-up in 2022, before winning the title in 2023.
His arrival in MotoGP represents the realization of a lifelong dream he has pursued since childhood. ‘Today, a lifelong dream has come true: arriving at MotoGP. I am immensely grateful to Guenther and the Tech3 team for believing in me and giving me this opportunity,’ Agius declared. He is aware of the challenges that await him, but he is willing to work and learn to the maximum.
Steiner has emphasized Agius’s qualities, stating that he has demonstrated impressive speed and maturity in Moto2, highlighting his determination to keep improving. ‘We are building a team for a new era of MotoGP, and Senna represents an exciting part of our future,’ he added.
