The word Factory is significant, with the Austrian manufacturer emphasising that Tech3 is just as important to them as the Official team.Tech3 will again receive the latest RC16 bikes in MotoGP this year, equal in specification to the official team of Oliveira and Brad Binder and with KTM engineers working closely with the Tech3 crew.Depending on how big a step Lecuona makes during his second season in the premier-class, much of Tech3’s 2021 hopes could rest on the shoulders of Petrucci.Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); Brivio ‘window’ closes, but Suzuki ‘hasn’t given up’ on satellite teamaccImages.createImage(); Jack Miller: Strongest rival at this point is Frankie, but…The Italian has been a MotoGP winner in the dry and wet, but struggled for much of last season as the characteristics of the new Michelin rear tyre caused some confusion at Ducati.Tech3 and KTM will no doubt be hoping that the RC16 will be a much better match for Petrucci’s aggressive style and that the family atmosphere of Herve Poncharal’s team can help bring out the very best in Italian.Petruxlec.jpg accImages.createImage();Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); Quartararo back at ‘top level’ fitness after Covid in DecemberaccImages.createImage(); Jack Miller: I told Marc ‘we’re in the same boat!’
