Guenther Steiner and KTM Tech3 MotoGP development

Overview

Following the acquisition of the KTM Tech3 MotoGP and Moto3 teams by a consortium including Guenther Steiner, Steiner has transitioned into a role focused on commercial decisions and long-term development.

Steiner has expressed optimism regarding the expansion of MotoGP under the ownership of Liberty Media, noting the sport has “immense potential” for growth. He has suggested that the series could benefit from marketing strategies similar to those used by Formula 1 and has identified the U.S. market as a key area for future race expansion.

Building on the shared commercial umbrella provided by Liberty Media’s stake in Dorna Sports, Steiner has proposed the possibility of joint Formula 1 and MotoGP race weekends as special one-off events at venues such as Silverstone. Additionally, while the Tech3 squad is currently focused on MotoGP and Moto3, Steiner indicated he is not ruling out a future return to the Moto2 class to complete the racing ladder.
