This weekend KTM faced its most important Grand Prix of the season, since it was played at home in Austria. The men in orange have their headquarters in Mattighofen, just over 100 kilometers from the Red Bull Ring which they know every square centimeter of the track.
Today, during the Austrian Grand Prix, the test driver Mika Kallio saved the honor of the Austrian firm by ranking 10th at the end of the race, while Bradley Smith concluded in a very modest 18th place and that Espargaro Pol was forced to abandon.
A wild card finishing far ahead of the official drivers, it's a bit messy. At least that's what Casey Stoner must have said, whose opinion we didn't ask but who gave it all the same, perhaps out of solidarity with the test pilots, on the now essential Social Media.
Casey Stoner : “what a great race from Mika Kallio! I think both KTM Racing riders need to improve! »
A message clearly moderately appreciated by Pol Espargaro who responded by the same means: “unbelievable result from Mika today, I'm really happy but... did you see the race my guy? I had a mechanical problem! My progress at Suzuka wasn't bad, right? »
The KTM rider thus alludes to his two victories at the Suzuka 8 Hours, the first of which took place the year of Casey Stoner's huge crash.
Atmosphere ...
Meanwhile, Paul's brother, Aleix, is grappling with Josh Brookes on social media, for saying he didn't want to ride at the Red Bull Ring in the rain.
The comments are still at a lower level and we are left to wonder if the pilots' contracts will not soon prohibit them from unmoderated use of social networks...
