MotoGP is heading back to the Red Bull Ring for the second week in a row, this time for the Styrian Grand Prix. And it’s looking like a promising event for the KTM team now that rider Pol Espargaro nabbed pole position with a time of 1:23.580, just two hundredths ahead of second-place rider Takaaki Nakagami.

It’s been a pretty great year for KTM. The outfit scored its first win with rookie Brad Binder in Brno. Now, Espargaro has taken home the Austrian team’s first ever pole position. It’s also Espargaro’s first pole position in MotoGP and his first since a Moto2 pole in 2013.

Track limits have come into play during qualifying for MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3, with riders’ lap times being cancelled due to exceeding them. Maverick Vinales looked set to take pole after an impressive 1:24.217 lap only to have his time cancelled.

Fabio Quartararo, Espargaro, and Nakagami all swapped fastest times until the final two minutes of qualifying, when Espargaro jumped to the top of the charts with the fastest time of the day. Nakagami looked set to outshine Espargaro on his final fast lap, but the Japanese rider’s time was disallowed after he exceeded track limits.

Valentino Rossi, who looked set to move into Q2, had a crash at Turn 9 on his final fast lap that saw him lose his shot at a better starting position. The Yamaha rider will take the green flag in 15th place.
