I want to improve in every race next year and I will give my best. My goal is to be as consistent as possible and to get into the points. A big thank you to Hervé Poncharal for giving me this chance! »

Hervé Poncharal, team manager of Tech3: “finally, we can announce the full composition of our Red Bull KTM Tech3 Moto3 team and we are very proud to say that Deniz Oncu will be the teammate of Ayumu Sasaki. This is going to be a very intense season for all of us. But it will be interesting for us, because for the first time Tech 3 will enter the Moto3 category. We know this category is crucial for KTM, just as I know they are working very hard on the new bike and it will be another exciting and hopefully successful project for Red Bull KTM Tech3. »
