Poncharal praises Miguel Oliveira: «An impeccable performance that deserves all recognition» – MotoGP

Although I am naturally satisfied with the pole position achieved by Miguel Oliveira in the Portuguese Grand PrixHervé Poncharal brought some water to a boil as he approached the Portuguese feat, recalling that only half the job is done. Still, this ‘half task’ was done flawlessly, as the Frenchman praised.

“This scenario is fantastic, as, as I said yesterday, we feel the pressure that Miguel has to deal with the fact that he is a hero in Portugal. It is the first time they have a MotoGP rider and all their compatriots expected a great qualification. But the truth is that the task was difficult because the times are very even. We gave it our all and we reached the goal. I am very proud of him, of the team and of the KTM. But we must bear in mind that we only did half of it. Miguel reached his first pole, in an impeccable performance, which deserves all recognition. Now we are going to focus on Sunday, because tomorrow the most important thing happens, the race, ”said the Frenchman, leader of the Red Bull KTM Tech 3 team, to ServusTV.
