Senna Agius signs
Tech3 signed Senna Agius for its MotoGP lineup in 2027, and the move will put him alongside Luca Marini when he makes his MotoGP debut. The announcement also completed the full 22-rider grid for the championship’s new technical era, a key milestone as the series shifts to new regulations and machinery. Tech3 said it was opening the next chapter of its partnership with KTM under those rules, and Agius became part of that plan. The deal gave Tech3 a rider who had already climbed through the ranks with steady progress and results, while also filling one of the final open seats for the next phase of the class. Agius attracted interest from multiple teams and manufacturers before the signing was confirmed. Tech3 closed it down and tied its future to a rider who had moved quickly from prospect to MotoGP recruit.
Agius climbs Moto2
Agius arrived after a strong run through Moto2. He finished runner-up in the Moto2 European Championship in 2022, then won the title in 2023. He stepped up to Moto2 World Championship competition in 2024 and has kept rising since, earning podiums and multiple victories in the class. He is in his third Moto2 season with IntactGP and has already won three Moto2 races while adding two pole positions. That record gave Tech3 a clear case for the promotion. Agius described the move as a lifelong dream and said it came after years of hard work, a view that fits the way he had built his career one step at a time. Tech3 team figures Guenther Steiner and Nicolas Goyon said Agius stood out to them for his speed, maturity and work ethic. They also said they expected to help him develop once he reached MotoGP, which pointed to a plan that stretched beyond the debut season. The team saw him as a rider with room to grow and a profile that matched its long-term approach with KTM.
MotoGP grid fills
Agius is the fourth Moto2 rider confirmed for MotoGP in 2027, a sign of how much movement the rider market has produced ahead of the new era. The other Moto2 riders already set for the class are Dani Holgado at Gresini, David Alonso at Honda and Izan Guevara at Pramac. Their moves, along with Agius’ switch to Tech3, show a clear pipeline from Moto2 to the premier class as teams build for the next cycle. For Tech3, the signing brings immediate clarity. Marini and Agius give the team its pairing for 2027, and the squad now has a young rider with proven Moto2 pace working into the project. For KTM, the deal comes as the manufacturer prepares to race at home in Austria and continues shaping its future under the new regulations and machinery. The broader picture is just as clear. MotoGP’s next chapter already has its field in place, and Agius is part of the group that will help define it.
