After affirming that Pedro Acosta is very special, the KTM rider was questioned about his own path and early career in MotoGP and recalled that not everything went smoothly.
Since then in the official KTM factory team, since making his debut in the category in 2020 – a year in which he even won a race – Binder recalled how his start in MotoGP was: ‘I remember starting in MotoGP and the difficulties I felt in the first test, and then I got to the first race and thought: “I’m super fast.” I ended up crashing many times, but I remember just rolling, I don’t know, always feeling like I could beat people, do funny things, and then you remember to save the tires or something.’
Sur un parcours difficile et riche en enseignements, Binder ne doute pas que ce que Acosta aura à affronter aujourd’hui est plus difficile que ce qu’il a dû affronter lui-même à l’époque : ‘Tu rencontres quelques surprises en chemin, mais je pense que c’est toujours excitant au début, tu cours contre les gars que tu admires. J’ai adoré, c’était vraiment cool, et maintenant je pense que c’est plus difficile qu’à mes débuts, c’est certain. C’est vraiment cool et une aventure’.
