Pedro Acosta experienced a setback just before the start of the Moto2 Australian GP. The rider crashed during the sighting lap at Phillip Island.
In wet and windy conditions, the Red Bull KTM Ajo rider lost control of his Kalex during acceleration. Fortunately, he didn’t sustain any injuries, but the bike had to be retrieved.
After the incident, Acosta couldn’t get his bike started. However, the motorcycle was eventually brought to the pit lane, and the championship leader’s participation in the race was not in jeopardy. Nevertheless, he would have to start from the back of the grid.
