Pedro Acosta ended the Le Mans GP early after suffering a crash on the second lap. The Spanish rider entered the corner too fast and ended up losing the front when trying to overtake Fabio Di Giannantonio. Acosta remains in fifth place in the MotoGP world championship.
In the debrief, the Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 rider talked about his race incident.
“We had a good start, but we have to analyze what happened at the front, I didn’t want to hit Aleix, I was going very fast when I tried to stop and the front locked up. The potential of the bike today was very high, the team was working all night to fix the problems we have at the rear and today it was working very well. Ducati has something more, but it’s not new, it comes from the past, but we are getting very close. Falling here again is becoming a tradition, but either way it is what it is. Every season we come here we are fast, but we can make mistakes.”
Asked about the weekend in general, Acosta replied: “We were fast in FP1, in PR, in qualifying in FP3, in the Sprint we scored points, the biggest problem was getting data in Warm Up, for me the KTM we had was the best so far in the championship. We have confidence in the bike, we are not falling much, it was the first time, we are on the right track and we are closer to the other riders. Today I had many problems to be an inspiration for others.”
