At the Austrian Grand Prix on August 19, 2022, GASGAS and Tech3 officially announced their new collaboration in MotoGP for 2023. Together, they will form GASGAS Factory Racing Team, and will field previous Tech3 and KTM rider Pol Espargaro as their first rider. A second rider will be announced in the coming months.
The GASGAS brand has a long history in Spain, and also in two-wheeled competition—although it’s usually been much different disciplines. The firm has made a name for itself in trials, enduro, motocross, supercross—and most recently, taking the 2022 Dakar Rally motorcycle category win with ace rally pilot Sam Sunderland at the helm.
