Marini Signs with Tech3 for 2027-28 MotoGP

Luca Marini will leave Honda to race for Tech3 KTM in the 2027 and 2028 MotoGP seasons, the team announced.

Marini's move marks a significant change for Tech3, which will be responsible for negotiating and signing its own riders from 2027 under the new ownership structure led by Guenther Steiner. Unlike the previous two seasons when Enea Bastianini and Maverick Vinales raced under direct KTM contracts, Tech3 will now independently manage its rider lineup.

The Italian rider's departure from Honda follows this announcement, ending his tenure with the Japanese manufacturer as he prepares to join the KTM satellite team for the upcoming MotoGP campaigns. afrikasportnews.co.za
