“We have a big goal in front of us this year and I think we are in the right place. Johann has integrated well into the team and already seems fast. It means we are ready for the season. Miguel was very fast in the tests and this was surprising for a rookie and I know that Hafizh is working really hard – said Pol Espargaro – All the information that the Tech3 guys can bring will be useful for me, the team and all the engineers . I know, from my experience, that Tech3 is useful for helping and teaching riders, and also for improving the bike. 2019 will be about improvement – ​​no one is perfect and I learn something every year. I believe I can learn from Johann to be a better driver and a better worker. I just want to give the best of myself in 2019 and the best I can for the team.”

“I'm happy to be here, and this is my first presentation in an official team! I discovered Mattighofen and the KTM factory for the first time in January and was very impressed. After some tests I am now very happy – said Johann Zarco – I feel that the people in the team trust me and it is nice to feel safe. We did a good job so the motivation is high. Even when we make big improvements in a test, we still see that we have a lot to do and that we need to take steps. Help you move forward. I believe in what we can do. I would say that I am a fast rider and therefore I can give good information and I am very proud to be part of this history in KTM.”
