Hirscher was joined by KTM’s Johann Zarco in Austria as he and the Frenchman enjoyed some time out on the track together, with Zarco, KTM Motorsport Director Pit Beirer and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team Manager Mike Leitner in attendance to offer the 30-year-old some tips. Hirscher warmed himself up on a KTM Moto2™ bike before tackling the Red Bull Ring on the RC16.
