Pedro Acosta continues to surprise in his debut season in MotoGP and this Sunday stepped onto the podium for the first time. The rookie finished third in the Portuguese GP in Portimão.
Mastering a good pace management to avoid tire problems like the ones he suffered in Qatar, the Spanish rider from Red Bull GasGas Tech3 did not hesitate to show his fighting spirit and fearlessness. He overtook Marc Márquez (Gresini/Ducati) once again and did not back down when he was behind Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati).
In fact, Acosta did not rest until he passed the two-time champion, taking over the fourth position at that time. On the 24th and penultimate lap, there was still time to move up to third place, after Maverick Viñales (Aprilia) encountered issues ahead of him.
