Tech3 team principal Guenther Steiner has ruled out signing Brad Binder for a 2027 seat. With the MotoGP rider market heating up, jockeying over each team's 2027 lineup continues.
A seat is a living thing that isn't decided by speed alone. Tech3 flatly declaring no interest in a rider as talented as Binder means they've got a clear picture in mind. Budget, development philosophy, developing young riders, the board is complicated. The maneuvering at a time like this is just as thrilling as the actual racing.

The 2027 seat battle, already jockeying this early? Kind of premature.
Is Binder really that strong a rider? I only know the name.
He's been KTM's main guy fighting for the podium all along, definitely not someone whose ability deserves a demotion.
Feels like Tech3 wants to put a bit of distance between itself and the KTM-affiliated riders.
Steiner's been blunt like this since his Haas F1 days, so he's probably just saying what he actually thinks here too.
They call it his real feelings, but there's also a chance he's publicly denying it as a negotiating card.
Steiner shooting down Binder, why though, the guy's actually delivered results at KTM.
