KTM TECH 3 WITH NEW RED BULL COLORS

Tech3 team owner Hervé Poncharal is looking forward to his second MotoGP season with KTM. He thinks that this year Miguel Oliveira can regularly enter the top 8 and that Iker Lecuona must fight for the best roolkie award against Alex Márquez and Brad Binder.
In the MotoGP class, the Red Bull KTM Tech3 team competes with Miguel Oliveira and Iker Lecuona. What is the goal of the team owner, Hervé Poncharal, for the Queen class?
"In 2019, we reached eighth place in Spielberg as the best result, when Miguel was still healthy and fit. The opportunities for 2020 are difficult to evaluate, but we must fight to get straight to Q2, which means we have to be in the top 10 after FP3. It's gonna be hard, but we have to try. I hope we can do that: in racing, I trust Miguel will have some results among the top 8. I'm happy to have a 20-year-old rookie like Iker, if he scores points regularly, that would be good in the first year, knowing the level in the MotoGP class.”
Hervé Poncharal also expects an interesting battle for Rookie of the year because now we have Alex Márquez in the factory Honda, Brad Binder and Iker Lecuona, both in the factory KTM. In the role, it could be thought that Lecuona would not stand a chance against Marquez and Binder. But I'm not so sure about that, I don't think he's the slowest rookie.
Tech3 already won the rookie award in 2017 with Johann Zarco.
The design of Tech3 RC16 in 2020 will be very different from the Red Bull Factory orange team. Instead of the Red Bull energy drink, Tech3 will be promoting the Red Bull Organics line for glue, lemon, ginger and tonic in completely new colors. It should be noted that the visualization we present is purely speculative!
