The beginnings have not been easy and there is still a long way to go before we can be assured of constantly evolving in the light. But in Argentina, the team Tech3 experienced his first great satisfaction in his emerging adventure with KTM. His rookie and beginner in the category Miguel Oliveira held the sugar high to the official and recut Pol Espargaro to knock on the door of the top 10. A course which has flooded the French team with positive vibes which is coming to Texas on the momentum of Las Termas.
However, the same Pol Espargaro warns that this deadline in Austin risks being the most complicated of the season for the RC16. But the boss Hervé Poncharal specifies that with a brave heart, nothing is impossible… “ The next Grand Prix will take place in the United States. Austin is always special, it's a very interesting and difficult circuit to master and understand. But with the very strong performance and the good feeling that the whole Red Bull KTM Tech3 team gathered in Argentina, I think we all arrive here in Texas with a lot of optimism, a lot of energy and with the will and the desire to continue growing, to continue helping the KTM MotoGP project grow ».
« I think at the moment the atmosphere within the KTM MotoGP group is very positive » rejoices the tricolor. “ It was exciting and important to see Pol Espargaró and Miguel pushing each other, which is the best key for performance. Ultimately, this performance is what you need to develop a motorcycle ».
He finishes : " I really believe and hope that Miguel and Hafizh will wear the same face in Austin as the one seen in Argentina. We will thus continue our mission, which consists of reducing the gap with the best at each Grand Prix. In any case, an interesting Grand Prix awaits us in Texas. Everyone will have had a week off and will be 100% ready to take on the challenge! ».
Last year, the RC16 of Pol Espargaro qualified twelfth and finished thirteenth in this third meeting of the season.
