Pedro Acosta continues to be the sensation of this MotoGP season’s early stages. At the Americas GP, the Red Bull GasGas Tech3 rider once again stepped onto the podium, this time in second place. And there is still plenty of room for improvement.
The rider assured in the press conference that he still doesn’t know what the bike’s limit is: ‘Well, we are improving. We don’t know where is the limit of the bike at the moment – like you see, I’m not crashing a lot. This means that we have a way to go’.
As a rookie, Acosta and GasGas Tech3 focus on the rider’s development rather than the bike’s parameters, with the Spaniard admitting that he has had the same setup since the first tests:
– Anyway, we are not really touching the setting of the bike, I have the same setting since the test in Valencia and we are just focused on the way I ride the bike. Sometimes I have these moments similar to Moto2 style, sometimes I may have a bit of locking or whatever on the tyres, that is a completely different mindset compared the Dunlop [tyres] from Moto2 to these Michelin from MotoGP. For this, we are trying to work more in myself than in the bike and trying to find my limit.
