Pedro Acosta was enthusiastic about the new KTM chassis he tried on Tuesday at Sepang
Pedro Acosta found the new KTM chassis at the Sepang MotoGP test to offer “promising” feedback, part of KTM’s more aggressive pre-season testing approach to overcome a difficult 2025 start amid the parent company’s financial crisis. The first day saw Tech3’s Maverick Vinales third overall and Acosta opting out of time attack runs, focusing on testing the “new concept” chassis which received positive feedback. Although Acosta used more tyre allocations than planned during chassis testing, he remained optimistic and satisfied with the work done on day one. Meanwhile, Vinales, feeling no more pain from a shoulder injury, had a positive first day with the KTM at Sepang, laying a good foundation for the upcoming races with a different approach compared to last year.
