The contrast is striking in the orange KTM box in MotoGP. On one side we have a Johann Zarco who is brooding and on the other a Pol Espargaró who sees life in rosy colors. The latter is in such a dynamic that he soon promises an RC16 with him on it which will make the competition see all the colors. But without saying when…

Pol Espargaro has not come down from his cloud since the start of this MotoGP season and the Le Mans meeting even made him rise in altitude. But it is well known that in a pilot, when the head is going everything goes: “ my driving is better than ever and my relationship with the team is better than ever. In every race, with the bike and also with the team, we work as a unit, if you do that everything goes much faster. You can feel it and see the results " said Pol Espargaro in a video interview with “motogp.com”. “ You feel strong. I haven't felt this way in a long time ».

This weekend, he will be on his Catalan lands and he intends to shine there. But also send a message for the future: “ If we keep working, why shouldn't we fight for world titles in the future? These results didn't start at Le Mans, they go back to the first race when we started from the back in Qatar. These crazy KTM people – and I mean the bosses – come to me and say: “Don't worry, one day we will win”. This way of thinking is remarkable to me. Not only me, but all engineers and mechanics, we become stronger in all races ».

So much so that the technical choices which were the subject of debate last year are no longer subject to doubt this time: “ I have heard many people say that we would never achieve anything with the tubular structure and that we would never achieve our goals with WP springs. We are the only ones using this setup and we are showing them that we can compete, fight and beat them ».

Pol Espargaro is dithyrambic. It would be better for KTM that he doesn't get hurt because he's the only one who knows how to make the RC16 go that fast...
