So now that Tech3 have signed to run two KTM`s in the MotoGP in 2019 will we see Zarco also come over?
I think the Tech3 experience will be a benefit to the KTM MotoGP campaign, 2018 is looking to be a bit flat.

According to Motorsport.com it's a YES. They quote, "Zarco reached a verbal agreement at last weeks round in Austin with KTM Motorsport Director Pit Beirer and Thomas Uberall for 2019 and 2020", who acts as Motorsports Manager for the Austrian marque's title sponsor Red Bull.

Rumours....


RB ktm: Zarco - Pol
Tech3 ktm: Oliveira - ???

that's what I heard was Marco on a KTM (not sure which team, I assume the factory team but if the $$ are there, maybe Tech 3).

Lorenzo to Suzuki, maybe a move for Pedrosa to the side and put Crutchlow on the Repsol for a year and see what he can do.

The tech 3 guys were all at our hotel at COTA, will be weird to see them in KTM colors next year!

Loads of possible permutations, JZ5 would need some convincing ($$$$$$?) to move to a bike that was getting top 10s last season but is now struggling to make the points, JL99 would doubtless be far happier on a Suzuki, lots of talk of DP26 losing his ride (when he is the perfect team mate for MM93, won’t really challenge for the title, will win races every season, and helps Honda win the manufacturers’ crown) - he’d also go really well on a Suzuki. I think that DP9 should get the factory Ducati ride.
The fate of the satellite Yamahas is still uncertain, especially now that MarcVDS look like taking Suzukis. There’s talk of Aspar getting them but it’d be a poisoned chalice as they’d be given to the multi-legged yellow puta when he finally gives up riding (for those comrades unfamiliar with that tag, search for Dear George on the Aussie Bike Me site, navigate to the start of the series (about Jan last year), and waste a few hours getting up to speed and pissing yourself laughing along the way)

Highlights for me from COTA; aside from the annual MM93 masterclass that made the race like an F1 procession, JL99 leaving the door wide open and having a hissy fit when JM43 sat him up good and proper, then refusing to accept his apology afterwards... read all about it in Dear George, priceless

Here is another (slightly subdued) article Boris has penned.

Zarco would be a fantastic signing for KTM. Probably the best signing they could make right now. Only Marquez or Rossi would be bigger.
