Pedro Acosta was the second-place finisher in the MotoGP Americas Grand Prix, which he led at more than one point. However, he ultimately couldn’t hold off Maverick Viñales (Aprilia) nor had the capacity to respond when overtaken.
The Red Bull GasGas Tech3 rookie acknowledged that his opponent was out of reach, stating in a press conference: ‘No one in this world could catch him in this race, you just have to see the pace. Also, when I see the pace he had in the Sprint, it was out of this world here. It was difficult‘.
Despite everything, Acosta didn’t stop trying for a different result, seeking solutions to overtake Viñales – concluding that it was impossible, despite his efforts until the end:
– I tried, I mean: when he started to overtake me, I tried to block him and these things, but it was really difficult. I was also telling him that when he actually overtook me, I was trying to brake hard in turn 12 and it was impossible to overtake. So, it wasn’t my day.
