Pedro Acosta made an immediate impact in MotoGP. The rookie fought for the podium for much of the first race of the season in Qatar and, despite finishing ninth, was not intimidated.
In fact, he reacted with a third place in the GP of Portugal, and then second in Austin where he fought for the victory and even led. Since then, he has not finished in the top three of a main race again, but in the Sprint races he only missed the podium once.
Even with a downturn in results, including his first mistakes and falls with greater sporting consequences, Acosta continues to be very fast and impressive. In Italy, he returned to good results, with a third place in the Sprint race and fifth place in the main race.
At the moment, the Red Bull GasGas Tech3 rider is in fifth place in the championship and is the best among the four KTM riders – two positions ahead of Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM).
Carlo Pernat commented on Acosta’s form in statements to the website GPOne.com, asking for time for the rookie: ‘Let’s wait for Acosta, who being a rookie may still have some problems, but he showed that the KTM is very competitive‘.
