Pedro Acosta enters his second MotoGP season this year. After debuting with Tech3, he is now a rider for the factory Red Bull KTM team, aiming to improve on last year’s sixth-place finish.
In this endeavor, the «Tiburón de Mazarrón» returns to his #37 – a number he couldn’t use in 2024 as it belonged to Augusto Fernández. Acosta’s dad shared with paddock-gp.com:
– That’s correct, he’s getting it back this year, thanks to Augusto. As you know, he has become a Yamaha test rider, so Pedro gets his original number back.
According to Acosta’s father, this adds extra motivation for the young talent: ‘We will see what happens because having his number is a big motivation for him’.
