The debut of Pedro Acosta in the MotoGP World Championship is one of the most exciting topics ahead of the 2024 MotoGP season. The spotlight of expectations is on the Red Bull GasGas Tech3 rider, a situation that is not unfamiliar to him.
The Spanish rider explained that he has become accustomed to the pressure thanks to his three years in the World Championships: ‘The problem is that since I started in the championship, these question marks or this pressure from the press has always existed. Therefore, for this reason, I have been living the last three years with pressure every day of my life. Now it’s something normal‘.
Acosta mentioned that he has learned to deal with media expectations and knows where to direct his attention: ‘I just try to focus on myself, enjoy when I’m riding, also enjoy when we go to Austria with the Pierer Mobility team. It’s just about trying to focus on myself because I’ve had some bad moments in the past because of these things in the press. So, I simply learned to turn off the sound and only listen to what I want to hear‘.
