As MotoGP 2025 prepares to resume from its summer break, the paddock looks poised to be joined by Formula 1 cult hero Guenther Steiner as his long-mooted deal to take over the Tech3 team moves closer to fruition.

Val Khorounzhiy, Simon Patterson and Matt Beer go behind the Netflix Steiner stereotype to explain what he’ll actually bring to KTM’s second team and ponder Tech3’s wider future shape.

And ahead of the second half of a season that we’ve often wished would be a bit more entertaining, we share our specific wishes for the remaining races - from riders we really want to see show their true selves to how we want the Marquez brothers to handle their habitual 1-2s from here.
