KTM’s Pedro Acosta admits that he “paid a big price for a small mistake” in the Jerez MotoGP sprint but acknowledges that he should be content considering the challenging circumstances they faced. Despite starting from sixth on the grid, he got involved in a fierce battle for fifth place with Johann Zarco, Enea Bastianini, and Brad Binder when the race was still dry. Acosta made a late pit stop for wet tires, but unfortunately crashed towards the end of the race, finishing 12th. He reflects on the unexpected heavy rain and the difficulty all riders faced in adapting to the changing weather conditions.
