MotoGP Silverstone J3, Hervé Poncharal has a message: "I want to tell our two rookies to hang on and believe in our package, because it works"

Hervé Poncharal hoped to return from Silverstone with at least a few points and see his two riders, rookies this season in MotoGP, finally get decently close to the two official riders of the brand of which he is a partner: KTM. Two missed objectives, once again, but not once too many, even if the Frenchman's message to his flock upon arrival was unambiguous.

Miguel Oliveira was the star of a brand KTM which he will leave at the end of this year in a British Grand Prix which saw him knock on the doors of the top 5. A performance that the drivers Tech3 always look from afar, even if the good will is there to find the right inspiration. At least at Remy gardner, because the case Raul fernandez remains an enigma. On Silverstone's balance sheet, Hervé Poncharal notes that the Australian, reigning Moto2 World Champion, crossed the finish line 18th after having been 13th for a moment while the Spaniard vegetated throughout the meeting around 20th place...

**Hervé Poncharal: “ I think Remy Gardner had his best weekend of the season so far«**

An overall performance which thus inspires the French boss: “ Tech3 KTM Factory Racing achieved its best qualifying result of the season on Saturday with Remy Gardner starting from P16, and we were hoping we could reach the points as it was a really promising weekend » he begins. “I think Remy Gardner had his best weekend of the season so far: his pace was good, his attitude was positive, there was everything in place for a good race. The start of the race was great and we were happy to see him with fast riders behind him, but his pace dropped after ten laps and we lost positions, which was a shame ».

He adds on his second pilot: “ Raul Fernandez struggled throughout the weekend. Certainly we encountered technical problems on Saturday which did not help him and he did not have an ideal position on the grid to prepare properly for the race. Miguel Oliveira had a great race and finished ahead of the championship leader. So I want to tell our two rookies to hang on and believe in our package, because it works. Keep pushing, keep believing, and the results will come " finished Hervé Poncharal. It will be recalled that neither of its two drivers has a contract for 2023 and that one of the two will have to make way for a Pol Espargaro on the way back to both the team and home KTM.
