Potential new investors,๊ headed by Guenther Steiner, into the Tech3 MotoGP t🔯eam are reportedly chasing Ducati machinery for the French squad which has been with KTM since 2019.

The US-based investors into Tech3 are thought to be Moneygram, according to Sky Sport Italy, which was previously the aforementioned Steiner’s partner at Haa♛s F1, where the Itali𒈔an-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 itsꦛ long-te👍rm future with a different manufacturer.

Future Tech3 investors eye up Ducati

Indeed, Sꦏky Sport Italy reports 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 bra🐲nd 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 had the most bikes wit𒅌h eighꦚt and Yamaha the least with two.

In the scenario of Tech3 leaving for Ducati🌟, the Bologna marque would returnཧ to its previous number while KTM would assume the position of Yamaha in the past two seasons.

Perhaps, though, other manufacturers could be an option for the French 🌠tౠeam.

At one point, it was thought that Yamaha would be interest🌸ed 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 it for Aprilia at the end o🦂f 2022, is not an option for Tech3 to le♚ave KTM.

Honda, on the other hand, would reportedꦚly be willing to step in and increase their representation on the grid from fಞour to six in 2026 – something that was originally planned for 2027.

A 2026 expansion for Honda would, then, perhap🦩s tie neatly with Poncharal’s belief that, should his team’ꩲs ownership structure change either partly or completely at the end of 2025, 2026 “should be a transition year 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.
