In an exciting development for 2025, Tech3 will welcome top-tier riders Enea Bastianini and Maverick Viñales, both secured on multi-year contracts. This will make Tech3’s lineup one of the strongest among the independent teams. Moreover, to demonstrate their unified commitment to the KTM brand, both the Tech3 and factory teams will compete in KTM’s iconic orange livery next season.
Poncharal’s strategic decisions and the addition of Acosta have revitalized the team, positioning Tech3 for a competitive and successful future in MotoGP. With the support of KTM and the inclusion of high-caliber riders like Bastianini and Viñales, Tech3 is poised to achieve new heights in the coming seasons.
In a exclusive interview to the Speedweek Hervé spoke about this big news for 2025: “2024 is already going like a dream for Tech3. Thanks to Pedro, we were able to show our strength and together accelerate the entire RC16 project. And what has happened now is an even greater step forward. It is certainly a little sad that Pedro is no longer in our garage, but we will have a team that has never existed before in our history.”
“We have always had very good riders and I still have great respect for all of them, but this combination of two current top riders and MotoGP winners together with us has never happened before. It is the best combination of riders that Tech3 has had at its disposal so far. We have two number 1 riders in 2025. I am convinced that both Enea and Maverick will fight for victories on the RC16. Good results are the fuel that keeps driving us all. And – in the neighboring box in the same colors are the next two winning riders. I mean, four riders who can win all races on a motorcycle capable of winning, you can’t ask for more.”
“This morning I contacted Stefan Pierer and thanked him for his great support. His answer: “Hervé, we are only really strong together.” Despite all the professionalism and the business perspective on MotoGP, this has strengthened my resolve in the decision we made seven years ago. If I had to send a message today, it would be: Be brave and follow your gut feeling and your heart!”
“This season we are already experiencing very exciting competitions again. But when I look at the overall constellation for 2025, there will be another increase for the sport and the fans. Although not all seats have been allocated yet, what we already know today is already giving us huge anticipation.”
