Potential new investors, headed by Guenther Steiner, into the Tech3 MotoGP team arꦿe reportedly chasing Ducati machinery for the French squad which has been wit🌄h KTM since 2019.

The US-based investors into Tech3 are thought to be Moneygram, according to Sky Sport Italy, which was previously the aforementioned Stein𝄹er’s partner at Haas F1, where the Italian-born German-speaker was Team Principal💝 until 2023, having joined the American outfit at the beginning of its F1 preparations in 2014.

Tech3 could still remain with KTM in 2026, but it seems that the French team’s prospective American investors see its long-term future with a different manuf🐬acturer.

Future Tech3 investors eye up Ducati

Indeed, S𝓀ky Sport Italy rꦆeports that Tech3’s prospective new investors are “Pushing for Ducatis”.

Such a move would of course mean a departure from KTM, although Herve Poncharal spoke in Aragon of his commitment to the Austrian brand 🌞and his desire to continue with them.

It would also mean a return, of sorts, to the position of MotoGP between 2023–2024, 🐲when Ducati h༒ad the most bikes with eight and Yamaha the least with two.

In the scenario of Tech3 leaving for Ducati, the Bol🌺ogna marque would return to its previous number while KTM would assum🌄e the position of Yamaha in the past two seasons.

꧙Perhaps, though, other manufacturers could be an option for the French team.

At one point, it was thought that Yamaha would be interested in reuniting with its former long-term partner (Tech3 were with Yamaha from 1999–2018 before switching to KTM🌌).

But Sky Italy reports that Yamaha, which expanded back to four bikes in MotoGP this year after being with only two since the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Trackhouse team (then called RNF) left iℱt for Aprilia at 🎃the end of 2022, is not an option for Tech3 to leave KTM.

Honda, on the other hand, would reportedly be willing to step in and increase their representation on the grid from four to six i💜n 2026 – something that was originally planned for 202𝔉7.

A 2026 expansion for Honda would, then, perhaps tie neatly with Poncharal’s belief that, should his team’s ownership structure change either partly or completely at the end of 2025, ꦡ2026 “should be a transition yearও to be fully ready from 2027,” as he told the MotoGP international TV feed during the FP2 session on Saturday at the Aragon Grand Prix.
