MotoGP is currently filled with fast and talented riders, some younger, others more experienced. Teams always seek the best available combination, and the choices are not always easy given the high quality on offer.
Aleix Espargaró, who competes for Aprilia, imagined his ideal team if he were a team leader. The Spanish rider stated, as quoted by the site SPEEDWEEK.com, that rookie Pedro Acosta (Red Bull GasGas Tech3/KTM) would be indispensable:
– If I were a team boss, it would be clear to me what to do. The first thing to do would have to be to secure Pedro Acosta. For me, there is no doubt that he is the boy to whom the future belongs. If you think ahead, you cannot plan without Pedro Acosta. He will have a role in the next ten to 12 years. That is certain. Pedro would be in my team.
As for the second rider, Espargaró would look for the current leader of the World Championship, Jorge Martín (Prima Pramac/Ducati): ‘When it comes to who is number one in terms of speed nowadays, Jorge Martín. His potential to win races, his consistency, his determination, is what makes him the strongest rider for me at the moment. So, my dream team, if I had something to say, would definitely be Pedro Acosta and Jorge Martín‘.
