Gunther Steiner is never one to shy away from the spotlight or sharing his opinions. Now, with his move into MotoGP, after acquiring the Red Bull KTM Tech3 MotoGP team, it should come as no surprise that he has plenty of opinions about the pinnacle of two-wheeled racing. But, for a person that many racing fans regard as a controversial figure, his thoughts about MotoGP will probably have fans nodding in approval, at least, for the most part
In a recent interview with the betting company Lottoland, he revealed that he's had a lifelong passion for two-wheel racing, what he thinks makes the sport so unique, and how he plans to bring his 40 years of motorsport experience to the grid. Although it's worth noting that the former Red Bull KTM Tech3 Team Principal, Hervé Poncharal, will continue to be a part of the team as a consultant.
In the interview, Steiner said, “It’s one of the sports I’ve always liked because it’s just so exciting. The racing is incredibly close, and the talent of the riders really shines through. In MotoGP, it’s much more down to the rider than the driver in Formula One. They fight man to man on the bike — it’s pretty cool to watch when they’re so close together.”
