Hervé Poncharal: “ it's time to start getting closer to the guys in front«
« Last year, after a difficult start to the season, KTM had a great result as Miguel Oliveira almost won the race but ended up in P2. It was a great achievement and we started getting stronger and closer to the top from then on. All we hope is that it will be the same this year » adds the Frenchman.
« Raul Fernandez was still suffering from his hand injury at Le Mans, but according to the latest news we think we will see him fully fit this week. Rémy Gardner should be able to capitalize on the good weekend he spent in France. Although he didn't finish the race, he got off to a very strong and competitive start and he has to take positives from that ». Hervé Poncharal finished : " we are now in a position where we can say that we have learned the category MotoGP with our rookies, and it's time to start getting closer to the guys up front. Let's go to Mugello! ».
