Pedro Acosta has warned that Ducati is not the only threat in MotoGP now
KTM’s Pedro Acosta believes that Ducati is not the only challenge in MotoGP as other manufacturers have closed the gap heading into 2026. Despite Ducati’s dominance in the 2025 season, including sweeping all three world titles, they faced tougher competition from Aprilia, Honda, and KTM. Marc Marquez’s success in GP25 and GP24’s performance have been notable, but other teams are catching up. Acosta remains cautious about KTM’s chances against Ducati in 2026 and acknowledges the increased competitiveness among manufacturers. He sets no expectations for a win at the Valencia finale, as KTM’s victory drought extends to 2022, but remains focused on improving performance.
