There is a lot of excitment towards Pedro Acosta at MotoGP and the rookie is super competitive so far, having already taken two podiums and on part of Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 there is some expectations on what he can do.
The Team Manager of the french team recalled what happened last year, with both of KTM RC16 riders did well: ‘It is now time for us to start the main European part of the MotoGP World Championship, as we are heading to the famous Circuito de Jerez – Ángel Nieto, for the Gran Premio de España. This Andalusian layout is very well known by all riders, as there is always a lot of testing going on at this track. Pierer Mobility will have high expectations, after we saw Brad Binder and Jack Miller take the podium in both sprint and race last year, so we know that the RC16 is working well there’.
He then set his attentions on the superstar of the season: ‘From the Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 side, Pedro Acosta has been doing an excellent start of the season, with already two podiums and a front row start, and it is now quite clear that he is already riding at a high level in the premier class’.
And reminded of what happened in 2023 also with ‘The Shark’: ‘Last season in Moto2, he was on the podium, so it is a layout that he enjoys, and we are excited to see what he can do this week on home soil’.
