The factory KTM camp was filled with optimism on Friday evening as both Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder were eyeing big points in the Saturday sprint race at the MotoGP Italian Grand Prix. Unfortunately, both riders retired in Lap 1, leading to disappointment in the orange garage. Acosta remained positive despite his crash, stating that he was content with his tire choice and decision-making during the race. He explained that KTM struggled in long corner accelerations compared to Ducati and felt they were unable to match their power output. Acosta had hoped to challenge Francesco Bagnaia but was hindered by Maverick Vinales’ position on the track. Binder’s race ended abruptly at the first corner after a front tuck caused by a minor nudge on the inside. He expressed frustration with issues such as chatter and understeer that prevented him from performing at his best. Binder emphasized the need to widen their performance window for future races.
