Luca Marini has agreed a two-year contract with KTM satellite team Tech3, running through 2028, ending a winless three-season stint at Honda where he was valued mainly for technical feedback. He'll be paired with rising Moto2 talent Senna Agius, who has two wins this season. Honda is reportedly weighing Diogo Moreira or Izan Guevara to fill the vacated seat ahead of MotoGP's 2027 850cc rules era.

From corner entry to exit, Marini getting a fresh start at Tech3 after three winless years isn't a bad story at all. His data-feedback reputation was solid, so I'm curious how KTM puts that knowledge to use. I've watched enough of these pairings to know his chemistry with young Agius will be the key.

Things are really heating up ahead of the 850cc switch in 2027.

Didn't know Moreira was a candidate to replace him.

He didn't win in three years, can he really deliver at the next team?

His reputation for technical feedback has always been solid.

Marini to Tech3 is unexpected but an interesting pairing!

Agius has 2 wins and sits 3rd this season, not a bad teammate at all.
