Agius Secures MotoGP Promotion With Tech3
Senna Agius will make the step up to MotoGP in 2027 after signing with Red Bull KTM Tech3, giving the Australian his first full-time opportunity in the premier class.
KTM confirmed the 21-year-old will join Tech3 as MotoGP enters its new 850cc technical era, rewarding Agius for his performances in Moto2.
From Moto2 contender to MotoGP rider — Agius is moving up.
Moto2 Success Earns Agius His Chance
Agius has steadily established himself as one of the leading young riders in the Grand Prix paddock.
The Australian made history with his first Moto2 victory at the 2025 Australian Grand Prix, becoming the first home rider to win the intermediate-class race at Phillip Island.
His continued development has now convinced KTM that he is ready for MotoGP.
Tech3 Builds for MotoGP's New Era
Agius arrives at an important moment for KTM.
MotoGP will switch from 1000cc to 850cc engines in 2027, alongside major aerodynamic and technical regulation changes. That reset could give incoming riders a valuable opportunity, with the entire grid adapting to new machinery.
Tech3 will therefore enter the new regulations with fresh talent as KTM continues reshaping its MotoGP project.
Australia Gets Another MotoGP Talent
Agius' promotion is also significant for Australian motorcycle racing.
At just 21, he now has the opportunity to establish himself among the world's best riders while continuing a long Australian presence at MotoGP's highest level.
For Winbox Racing, Agius will be one of the most interesting rookies to watch when the new regulations arrive.
New rider. New KTM. New MotoGP era.
