Why Pedro Acosta is shaping up to be the rookie MotoGP needs
“It’s a cold, frosty Saturday in December when all the world champions gather in Liverpool for the FIM Awards after the conclusion of the 2023 MotoGP season. Pedro Acosta, the reigning Moto2 world champion, is also there after making his public MotoGP debut just a few days prior. He is excitedly talking about the Isle of Man TT. Acosta had a successful test with the KTM-backed Tech3 GasGas team, completing 70 laps and being just 1.2 seconds off the best pace. He feels supported and comfortable with the team, especially with his experienced crew chief, Paul Trevathan. Acosta’s promotion to MotoGP has been highly anticipated, and KTM is fully invested in his development. He is praised for his old-school approach to racing and his focus on winning the Moto2 title before shifting his attention to MotoGP.”
