Pedro Acosta is making waves at MotoGP and some see in the rookie a resemblance of what Marc Márquez did on his debut season at the top level, as is the case of Randy Mamola who puts the Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 rider besides riders with talent just like Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi.
The american was a big star of the category, then 500cc, and is still someone who follows MotoGP closely and knows the sport very well, and looking at today’s grid there is this one young rider that stands out and is having an amazing debut and stunning many, even recalling exactly what Marc Márquez did, he considered, in words to Relevo, quoted on Motosan: ‘When he finds a better rhythm on the bike you see that he is one of the few riders on the KTM who is capable of doing it. It happened the same with Marc and Honda in the beginning’.
Still, Mamola sees something more in Acosta than what he saw then with Márquez and puts him beside other MotoGP stars: ‘Marc was also funny, but not like Pedro. He has the talent and it just comes out, he is one of those wonder kids. He’s a Casey Stoner, he’s a Valentino [Rossi], those types of riders’.
And continued: ‘This guy has great instincts. He is on his limit, but on a line that he controls perfectly. He knows what the motorcycle is going to do, that is something that cannot be taught’.
