Tech 3 is a motorcycle racing team currently competing in MotoGP World Championship under the name Yamaha Tech 3 and uses the Yamaha YZR-M1 motorcycle. The team was founded by ex-racer Herve Poncharal, engineer Guy Coulon and Bernard Martignac and started racing in 1990 in the 250 cc class, using Honda and Suzuki motorcycles. In 1999, the team partnered with Yamaha for the factory team and in 2000 their riders, Olivier Jacque and Shinya Nakano, placed 1st and 2nd in the 250 cc grand prix championship. In 2001 the team moved the whole operation to the premier class, again with Yamaha, Jacque and Nakano on the YZR500,cite news |title=MotoGP – Tech 3 Yamaha |language=English |publisher=Yamaha-Racing.com |url=http://www.yamaha-racing.com/Racing/motogp/rider_team/tech3.jsp |accessdate=2007-12-17] though their status changed to that of satellite team through to the present.
