KTM - First Q2 appearance of 2019 MotoGP for Espargaro in Argentina
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Press release available only in original language.
MotoGP reconvened in South America for the second round of nineteen and a twisty and fast layout that welcomed the FIM World Championship for the sixth year in a row. The Red Bull KTM squads immediately got to work on Friday with the first Free Practice sessions and #johannzarco displayed his fondness for the Argentine course by registering the sixth fastest time in FP1. At the end of the day almost the entire grid was split by just one second.
In cloudy but dry conditions on Saturday all four RC16s were in the Q1 period. It was Espargaro that throttled his way to a lap-time just a tenth of a second away from Takaaki Nakagami and only seven hundredths ahead of his brother Aleix and another bright charge from Red Bull KTM Tech3’s #migueloliveira. 2nd place meant that Pol entered Q2 and the battle for the top twelve positions on the grid while the Portuguese will finally start from 14th.
Pol could not go quicker at his next attempt and invade the top ten. He rested 1.1 seconds away from the Pole effort by Marc Marquez. Zarco will be on the sixth row for his second race appearance with the KTM RC16 and the 25 lap sprint tomorrow (he was 0.5 of a second from also making Q2) while Oliveira’s teammate #hafizhsyahrin sits in 21st.
Pol Espargaro: “The track is not the easiest for me and the low grip makes things a little bit harder. Anyway, I made a good lap in Q1, even with a mistake that could have given me a couple more tenths but it was enough for Q2. It makes me really happy that we could manage this here. In Q2 I had no more tyres to make a lap time so I put a Soft front and Medium rear and I was pretty close. I’m happy overall. We don’t know what will happen with the weather tomorrow but we have a good position for the race.”
