Pedro Acosta continues to receive praise even before his debut season in MotoGP. The shakedown and the Sepang test further reinforced the feeling that he will be a rider to watch out for in 2024, and even his opponents were impressed.
Aleix Espargaró was one of them. The Aprilia rider spoke about the Red Bull GasGas Tech3 rookie in an interview with MotoGP.com. #41 stated:
– Pedro’s talent is incredible. Since he arrived in the championship, he has been doing extraordinary things. It was only his third time in Sepang, the second on a MotoGP bike. Obviously, he has been riding many days, but even so, on Thursday I was riding with him for a few laps, and when you see him ride, the lines he takes are not rookie lines. It’s unbelievable how quickly he learns. So, it’s obvious that he will be someone to watch during the season.
