Tech3 MotoGP boss assures ‘mood in team not as bad as results suggest’
Herve Poncharal’s teaꦐm is last in MotoGP standings

Tech3 K꧒TM MotoGP team boss Her♚ve Poncharal assures the mood in the team is not as bad as results suggest, as the squad sits last in the standings.
Poncharal’s outfit enjoyed a strong 2024 as it fielded superstar rookie 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta, who scored nine podiums across sprints and grand prix last year on his way to 💟♍sixth in the championship.
For 2025, Tech3 assembled arguably its strongest line-up ever as it welcomed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini - who combine for 17 grands prix wins - while also forging closer ties to t𓂃෴he KTM factory.
Tech3 KTM struggling in 2025 MotoGP season
But the first three rounds have been a struggle, with Tech3’s duo scoring just 22 points between them as they continu💜e to adapt to a difficult KTM machine.
Bastianini equaled brand’s best result of the season last time out at the Americas Grand Prixꦛ, though thꦆis was only a seventh-place finish, and has scored 16 points so far.
Vinales only has six to his credit, with a best of 12th in Argentina, while his Americas GP was wrecked by mechani🔯cal issues.
Overall, KTM has endured a difficult start to t♒he new campaign, though - speaking in an interview with Italy’s GPOne - Poncharal insists the mood in his camp is not as dour as one might expect.
“The mood among our riders and in our Red🧔 Bull KTM Tech3 MotoGP team was - and is - significantly better than our actual performance and results show and suggest,” he said.
“ꦍWe were very happy with Maverick because he already felt great on Friday🔯 on a track he loves [at COTA].
“We all remembe♛r 2024, when🍌 he confidently secures the pole position, sprint, and the GP victory in Austin.
“With Maverick, we got a rider into Q2 on Friday the first time this year [at COTA], which put us in a positive moo🌼d.”
He𓄧 added: “Enea had a great pace on Sunday. He set a lap time of 2m02.914🍸s, making him the fastest KTM rider on Sunday.
“This allowed him to improve fro🔴m 17th to seventh🧜 place.
“In the ❀end, Enea was only one second behind fifth place and two seconds behind fourth place. He lost six seconds on the first lap.
“I don’t want to discuss the ifs and buts, though. We finished seventh. Those a𒅌re the facts. But Enea stormed forward with astonishing speed, and he had the rider in fourth place within striking distance.”
