At KTM, we have team spirit and esteem seems shared between each member. Pol Espargaró's last intervention on the subject of Tony Cairoli is the demonstration in a context where, however, there is an open debate between Bradley Smith and Mika Kallio for the second handlebar of the RC16 in 2018. Which hardly detracts from the tribute of the one we nickname “ Polyccio” with regard to the master of motocross.
Tony Cairoli is a monument at KTM. And for good reason. Nine World Champion titles are respectable. A track record acquired in a category popular with Grand Prix riders: motocross. To reward Cairoli of his good and loyal services, KTM will offer him a full-scale MotoGP test session, alongside its official riders with the RC16.
An approach that the 2 Moto2013 World Champion comments as follows: “ people at KTM are very close together. Everyone is treated very well. And Tony has done more for KTM than any other rider. The approach is good and I understand why Tony wants to experience such an opportunity. It will be a great experience for him. ».
However, the same Pol Espargaro don’t think about climbing on the KTM 450 motocross to give a lie: “ I prefer asphalt, there are no jumps! » A love of asphalt that extends to all four wheels. Aleix's younger brother, who is an official at Aprilia, ordered the GP4 X-Bow racing car that KTM also produces, but in the GP4 racing version. A 100.000 euro toy. Something to have fun on the circuits…
