  • Red Bull KTM Factory Racing ingin konsisten naik podium pada MotoGP 2020.
  • Untuk menghadapi MotoGP musim ini, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing tetap mengandalkan motor RC16.
  • Performa RC16 yang ditunggangi Pol Espargaro dan Brad Binder impresif selama tes pramusim di Sepang, Malaysia.

SKOR.id – Red Bull KTM Factory Racing akan menjalani musim keempatnya dalam ajang balap MotoGP tahun ini. Sadar masih seumur jagung, pabrikan asal Austria ini tidak memasang target muluk.

Mereka berambisi untuk dapat lebih sering naik podium pada MotoGP 2020. Sepanjang keikutsertaan dalam ajang balap motor itu, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing hanya sekali merasakannya.

Hal tersebut terjadi di grand prix (GP) pamungkas 2018 di Sirkuit Ricardo Tormo, Valencia, Spanyol. Kala itu, pembalap andalan KTM Pol Espargaro sukses finis di posisi ketiga.

Untuk menghadapi MotoGP 2020, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing masih akan mengandalkan motor RC16 yang telah digunakan sejak debut mereka 4 musim lalu.

“Kami belajar dan sadar apa saja yang perlu dilakukan untuk bisa membuat tim ini berjalan lalu bersaing di MotoGP. Itu bukan hal yang mudah,” kata Tim Prinsipal Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Pit Beirer.

“Ada banyak material yang perlu disiapkan. Motor dan mesinnya sangat besar, terdiri dari kurang lebih 3.000 part. Itu (motor dan mesin) harus dibangun dengan material yang tepat,” imbuh Beirer.

Dengan motor sama, bukan berarti KTM tak melakukan pengembangan. Walau baru meluncurkannya pada Selasa (18/2/2020), progres RC16 telah terlihat pada tes pramusim di Sepang, Malaysia.

Hal terbesar KTM RC16 musim lalu adalah kecepatan yang tidak konsisten. Problem itu yang membuat mereka tidak mampu bersaing dengan nama-nama besar seperti Honda, Yamaha, atau Ducati.

Jangankan The Big Three (Tiga Besar) MotoGP, bahkan bersaing dengan Suzuki pun KTM masih kesulitan. Ini yang membuat mereka terus melakukan perbaikan pada segala aspek RC16.

Perlahan tapi pasti, masalah ini mulai mampu diatasi Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. Itu terlihat dalam tes pramusim di Sirkuit Sepang, Malaysia, 7-9 Februari 2020 lalu.

“Performa motor semakin membaik. Konsistensi (kecepatan) dan ritme motor membuat kami sebagai salah satu yang tercepat (dalam tes pramusim),” kata Pol Espargaro.

Pada sesi tes tiga hari di Sepang, catatan waktu RC16 yang ditunggangi Espargaro terus membaik. Hari pertama, ia finis di posisi ke-8, dengan waktu 1:59,536 per lap.

Hari kedua, Pol Espargaro mencatatkan 1:58,989. Lalu pada hari ketiga, rapor waktu pembalap Spanyol tersebut dengan RC16 adalah 1:58,610.

Sementara itu, catatan waktu rider Red Bull KTM Factory Racing lainnya, Brad Binder pun mengalami peningkatan selama tes pramusim.

Pembalap asal Afrika Selatan (Afsel) ini mencatatkan waktu 2:00,519 (hari 1), 1:59,780 (hari 2), dan 1:59,104 (hari 3) per putaran.

“Ini lebih besar daripada yang saya bayangkan dan harapkan,” kata Pol Espargaro soal peningkatan performa mesin KTM RC16. “Apalagi biasanya kami kesulitan di sini (Sepang).”

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing akan berharap Pol Espargaro dan Brad Binder dapat memaksimalkan RC16 pada sesi pramusim kedua di Qatar pada 22-24 Februari sebelum GP perdana dimulai, 8 Maret 2020.
