Guenther Steiner says “taking a chance” on a Moto2 rider could be a “big opportunity” for Tech3 in MotoGP 2027.
Guenther Steiner, having secured Tech3’s KTM contract for the 850cc MotoGP era, is now focusing on finalizing the team’s 2027 rider lineup.
With factory MotoGP team seats reportedly settled, Tech3 faces significant decisions regarding its own lineup, including the future of current riders Enea Bastianini and Maverick Vinales.
While Bastianini is rumored to join Trackhouse, Vinales is being considered to remain with the Tech3 KTM team.
Steiner mentioned that Vinales needs to return to full physical fitness before coming back to MotoGP.
Not ruling out Moto2 talent, Steiner expressed openness to taking a chance on a promising rider from the Moto2 series.
