Pedro Acosta offers ominous MotoGP warning: ‘Ducati looks even more dominant’
KTM’s Pedro Acosta is unsure about the team’s chances of winning MotoGP races in 2026, acknowledging the strong competition from two other brands.
KTM is aiming to end a victory drought that goes back to the 2022 Thailand Grand Prix as they enter the 2026 season.
Acosta, now in his third year in the premier class, faced a disappointing 2025 season due to underperforming machinery but remains optimistic about improvements made on the RC16.
Despite positive developments, KTM is currently trailing behind as the third-placed manufacturer on the grid, based on pre-season testing.
Acosta sees progress in the bike’s performance but acknowledges that Ducati and Aprilia are still the benchmark for competitiveness in the upcoming season.
