Overview
- Tech3 announced on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, that 20‑year‑old Senna Agius will join Luca Marini for the 2027 season, filling the final vacancy and confirming all 22 riders on next year’s grid.
- Team bosses Guenther Steiner and Nicolas Goyon praised Agius’s speed, maturity and work ethic and said Tech3 will support his step up to the premier class.
- The seat was contested with IntactGP team‑mate Manu Gonzalez, but Tech3 chose Agius after assessing mid‑season form and wider team priorities.
- Tech3 did not disclose the length of Agius’s contract, leaving the rider’s future beyond 2027 unspecified in the announcement.
- Agius joins a cohort of rookies entering as MotoGP switches to 850cc machinery and Pirelli tyres, a change that is expected to reshape development priorities and will be tested by all teams at the Valencia post‑season test on December 1.
