Barely got off his official KTM RC16 after securing pole position on the starting grid for the Styrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring, Pol Espargaró confided in front of the site camera MotoGP.com with the joy of bringing KTM its first pole position in the premier category, and what's more at home!
We report his comments here without any formatting.
Pol, you are making history! What does that make you?
Pol Espargaró : " Yes, it's incredible! I am really very very happy! I didn't imagine we could make pole. I was hoping for the first or maybe the second row, which would have already been fantastic for us. Throughout the weekend, we struggled to do a very fast lap. In race pace, we are very fast, but on one lap, I am missing those last tenths, and I made a lot of mistakes on one lap, especially like this morning in FP3. In qualifying, I wanted to do a good lap but I was careful not to go into the green zone because it's easy to go there. Yes, I’m super happy! All my boys and the whole KTM Factory Racing team really deserve this and I'm very happy for them. »
