Pedro Acosta reached another podium at the Americas GP of MotoGP, where he even led the race. The performance of the Red Bull GasGas Tech3 rookie doesn’t seem like that of a newcomer, learning quickly despite his lack of experience not only in the premier class, but also in the World Championships – where he only arrived in 2021.
Oscar Haro is impressed with the young Spaniard, recalling on Nico Abad’s YouTube channel the meteoric rise, comparing it to two MotoGP legends:
– This boy has been in the World Championship for three years. Be careful. He’s been there for three years. One in Moto3, two in Moto2 and two titles. Marc’s numbers were excellent, Valentino’s. They were riders who came in already established for many years. Pedro, four or five years ago, was in Murcia in karting or in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, where he was already quite fast.
The former director of LCR Honda has no doubt that the future holds strong results for Acosta: ‘This boy’s talent, be careful with the numbers he has. It’s something very special, and then there will be others very good for sure, but this boy is something very special, he’s an angel‘.
After the first three Grand Prix of the season, Acosta is in fourth place in the championship. The next round is the Spanish GP, at the Jerez Ángel Nieto Circuit that he knows well.
