Tech3 KTM will field Adrian Fernandez and Kristian Daniel Jr. in the 2027 Moto3 world championship with the KTM RC4 as part of the KTM GP Academy. The Spaniard and American join racers Luca Marini and Senna Agius who will be the team’s representatives in the MotoGP class.
Fernandez returns to Tech3 as a Grand Prix winner and championship candidate for what will be the current 22-year-old’s seventh season in Moto3. Adrian steered the KTM RC4 with the crew in 2022 and has been re-signed with a view to a title tilt in 2027.
Fernandez will have a rookie alongside him. Daniel Jr., who turns 18 in February 2027, has been plying his trade in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup. The Californian, who has been based in Barcelona since 2018, earned his first podium finish in the fast feeder series on KTM RC 250 R Rookies motorcycles in 2025, and came extremely close to his first win in 2026: finishing 4th in the championship standings.
Tech3 have previously helped Deniz Öncü, Ayumu Sasaki, Daniel Holgado and Valentin Perrone to maiden podium appearances and Rico Salmela to top five speed in his first campaign in the class.
The other half of 2027 Tech3 consists of 29-year-old Luca Marini, who brings almost six terms of premier class experience to the squad and 21-year-old MotoGP rookie Senna Agius. The Australian has 4 wins and 9 podiums in less than three seasons of Moto2™ competition.
