Pol Espargaró will continue to race for Tech3 at this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix (18-20 September), deputising for Maverick Viñales at the Red Bull Ring.

As KTM’s Official Test and Reserve Rider, Espargaró will once again join the MotoGP grid, looking to fly the orange flag in front of the Austrian crowd as he makes his fourth consecutive appearance for the team this season.

Espargaró produced a standout Qualifying performance at the previous round in San Marino, a clear marker of how far he has progressed since returning to the Tech3 garage.

Having stepped in for Viñales at Silverstone, Aragón, and Misano, the Spaniard arrives at KTM’s home event with valuable race mileage under his belt, while Tech3 remains hopeful that Viñales will be fit to return when the championship heads overseas to Japan.
