More, from a press release issued by Red Bull – KTM:

KTM took its first ever pole position in the cold and rainy Holland with the Australian Casey Stoner. Beside him his team mate Mika Kallio unfortunately finished only 20th

Stoner – It wasn’t bed… The last 2/3 laps of the second day qualifying practices is always a lottery in 125cc but I did the right choice of the tires and I finished first. I’m happy!

Kallio – Unfortunately I change my front tires 8 minutes before the end to make the best lap time but I than had to go back and change the bike. Bike n.2 had the rain tires on and I couldn’t make anything better in that conditions.

Bartol – I’m happy for Casey and for KTM: this is our first pole! Of course it was better if Mika was close to him but I’m confident for the race!
