Tech3

There remains the essential thing to do for some before ending this 2022 MotoGP season, but, for the most part, the mass has already been said and this is particularly the case with the Tech3 team. The French team is therefore looking towards 2023 where everything will be turned upside down. Indeed, it will once again welcome a tandem of drivers different from that of the past campaign, and, above all, it will display the brand of the KTM group that is GASGAS. Under the dress, it will always be an RC16 and here is already what everything will look like with this particularity: a black tone instead of the white seen in Moto3 and Moto2.   

KTM had asked the men toHervé Poncharal to play the youth card with two rookies in the person of a Moto2 World Champion Remy Gardner and his dolphin Raul fernandez in 2022, and the least we can say is that the situation has not been good. For various and varied reasons, the two aces were not assets in MotoGP, so much so that in 2023, experienced riders from the Mattighofen family were brought back into the game. In the official structure, Brad Binder will continue its lease whose term is 2024, i.e. the same deadline for which signed a Jack Miller hired who is not the partridge of the year with his experiences Honda et Ducati.

At Tech3, we also brought back an old man, and from the brand what's more, as well as from the team, in the person of Pol Espargaro, nevertheless worn out by two nightmarish and painful seasons at Repsol Honda.

At Tech3 we are already assured of having the titled rookie driver of the 2023 season

So that the average age does not explode too much, we have already promoted Augusto Fernandez of a Moto2 that he still has to conquer with a title that will be decided in Valencia. Given what happened to his predecessors at the same trajectory, we already wish him good luck, but he is still already assured of a title even before he gets on his GASGAS RC16: he will be the rookie of the 2023 season in MotoGP, by the simple fact that he will be the only one in the field to start in the category.

Otherwise, here are the photos of the one which will be the Austrian diamond with the Spanish name in the French case Tech3. According to the site super7moto, when the MotoGP GASGAS with Pol Espargaro et Augusto Fernandez will take to the track for the first time at Valencia on Tuesday November 8, they will be painted black and red, not white and red. The project is close to the heart of Mattighofen since Stefan pierer and the CEO Hubert Trunkenpolz are expected to remain in Valencia for Tuesday's test. The only test day of the MotoGP off-season before the Malaysian tests in February will take place on the Ricardo Tormo circuit two days after the World Championship final in Valencia.

Since most factory riders' contracts last until December 31, they are not allowed to announce the new brand of their bike. Regarding GASGAS, in principle, Pol Espargaro should only have its old nickname "Polycio" or "Pol44" in large letters on the fairings, since it will not be able to boast the group's brand KTM only from December 31.
