Pedro Acosta suffered his first crash in a main race since arriving in MotoGP at the French GP. Nevertheless, he continues to show himself capable of fighting for top positions and already has two podiums in just two races, impressing in each round with his rapid adaptability.
Former rider Ruben Xaus also follows with interest these first steps of the young talent. In the podcast Dura La Vita, the current TV commentator praised Acosta:
– Acosta is like he has been in MotoGP for 20 years. I applaud him every time I see him on TV. Here in each race things change, so he evolved with little pressure because there is more than one adapting. You see that everything is changing, and he sees himself so capable and people have put him so high, that he has grown. In Le Mans it is very easy to fall and he fell, nothing else.
After finishing ninth in Qatar, Acosta was third in Portugal and second in Austin, where he fought for the win during part of the race. Then, he had a drop in results entering Europe with a tenth place in Jerez and a retirement in France. Currently, the Spanish rider is sixth in the championship.
