As three riders reach Q2, can KTM eventually be surprised in the Aragon Motogp race?

Although KTM Motogp Riders are not feeling more confident about their race opportunities at the Aragon at the end of this week, it was surprising to progress three riders of the Austrian manufacturer in Q2 after Friday’s first practice in 2025.

Maaveric vinelas KTM trio was led by the Factory Riders in the automatic Q2 spots at the third place at the time Pedro Acosta In fifth and Brad Binder In the seventh. Last KTM Rider, Ineni BastianiniMissed in the 13th, but was only two and a half tenth position by cracking in the top 10.

Particularly excited, the binder discussed minor reforms that appeared to make the difference.

“First of all happy to be straight through Q2, it’s up to some time so it’s good but normally I think it was very positive today,” Binder said. “I was actually struggling with very intelligent this morning and this afternoon we got something that gave me a lot of confidence, so it was very good.

“Very little sensible so I am very happy about it and everything is quite fine in general. There are things that we can try to fix for tomorrow but I think a good step is a good step ahead for this track.”

Maverick Vinales was also in good souls after its speed, but it was underlined that further work was to be done, such as the binder did.

“On a Friday we can be more positive, that KTM can be more positive,” Vineels said.

“Even though I think we still have some parts of the track, it was better to ride a bike to be used with medium (tires), so when you put a soft rear, it probably slightly unbalanced, the front behavior is always slightly (causes to open) and this section is difficult to be accurate in one and two and three.

“In Section Four I think we are quite strong and at the same time in section two, but even though I think we can still improve, but one and three where you have to move the corner speed, wow! It’s hard when I attacked the time. I did the time with the medium (tires) I did in the third exit, I think we have a good ability.”

Things are looking for the KTM squad in Aragon, but its riders are taking final decisions till they qualify tomorrow.
