Pedro Acosta, who joined MotoGP this year, is already making a significant impact and inspiring more experienced riders to adopt his riding style, including Jack Miller.
According to Hervé Poncharal, owner of the Red Bull GasGas Tech3 team, the Australian rider from Red Bull KTM realized he needed to change his approach during the Portuguese Grand Prix. Poncharal shared this with DAZN:
– We were in Portugal, and Jack was looking at the data because he was beaten by Pedro. Then, he said: «I have to change, I have to do something, I think I’m going to start doing pilates». Because he saw Pedro using his body in a way that nobody else does.
Poncharal is convinced that Acosta is setting new standards in the premier class: ‘Pedro is bringing a new riding style’.
