RiderTua.com – Only two series have passed and the love of many MotoGP fans for Pedro Acosta has skyrocketed. Not just because of his talent, but everyone was shocked by a beginner who was immediately at this level. Most importantly, he was the one who stood out in the first race with his overtaking actions, showing extraordinary mastery of the KTM RC16 bike and not being afraid to duel with more experienced riders.
Pedro Acosta Can Win at Jerez, But Who Says?
Yes, the 19 year old rider from Mazarron impressed everyone, even a legend like Jorge Lorenzo. The five-time world champion had the opportunity to speak to him post-race in Portimao via DAZN media and gave him some advice… “We know that he is a phenomenon and he has huge potential, but I would give him some advice. I don’t know will he agree with me.”
Acosta responded to Lorenzo by admitting that there is progress to be made, this is normal. “Maybe it’s true that we braked too much with the engine. There are some things we need to improve. Maybe the bike became a little softer at the rear and we lost a little grip “, which is important with a lot of aerodynamics. On the other hand, we have improved the stability when exiting corners, but there is still a lot to do. We have to focus especially on the electronics, a lot of vibrations are created by the electronics.”
Jorge Lorenzo made his prediction on a track where we could see Acosta capable of victory.. “I see him winning in Jerez, in the sprint or Sunday’s main race. Then there is the factor of rain, damage or a crash that could happen, but if there is a race “That can be won, it’s Jerez. He will arrive there a little more prepared, the KTM GASGAS performed very well on that track and I think he can get a good chance,” he said…
Jerez could be the right place. There we will also see Dani Pedrosa in action as KTM’s wild card, it will be a very interesting weekend.
