Dani Pedrosa did not hide his praise for Pedro Acosta. The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing test rider and commentator on the DAZN channel spoke about the current sensation and the rookie’s learning ability in MotoGP.
In statements to DAZN, Pedrosa tried to convey how difficult it is to ride at the level that Pedro Acosta is riding, especially in the first year in the premier class.
– ‘It’s an invaluable experience, because really going through those laps there, when you have so few MotoGP races, gives you a wealth of experience, it’s an intensive course, everything that happens and he is really absorbing everything at a speed that is not normal. Normally, any rookie does not absorb at this speed and that is preparing him for this championship. At this moment he has not made the beginner mistakes that rookies normally make, so everything is positive for him at this moment.’
Dani Pedrosa also revealed that his colleague and former rival in MotoGP, Jorge Lorenzo, thought Pedro Acosta would be able to win in Jerez: ‘Well, let’s see, at this moment, in the first race, in the second race, Jorge Lorenzo said he thought Pedro would be ready to win in Jerez.’
