Competing for the first time at home, Pedro Acosta had his worst result of the MotoGP season this Sunday. This put an end to a sequence of two consecutive podiums.
The Red Bull GasGas Tech3 rookie started from tenth after crashing in qualifying yesterday. This morning he suffered a spectacular crash in warm-up, which may not have helped his sensations and confidence.
The start of the race was complicated for Acosta, who was in 18th place at one point, but then started a recovery that took him to the final tenth place, more than nine seconds behind the ninth-placed Maverick Viñales (Aprilia).
After the podiums in Portimão and Austin and being second in yesterday’s Sprint race, the Spaniard had a less good day. Nevertheless, he managed to be the second best KTM, only behind Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM) who finished sixth.
