Pecco Bagnaia might have proven his champion credentials in the 2024 MotoGP season opener, but this year’s sole rookie has already made his mark. The Race MotoGP Podcast asks how long it’ll take Pedro Acosta to win races after his impressive debut
“Pecco Bagnaia demonstrated his skill as a double MotoGP world champion by successfully leading the Qatar Grand Prix despite a somewhat uncertain qualifying and sprint. This race might later be remembered for the debut of another rising champion, Pedro Acosta, who finished in ninth place but left a strong impression with his bold racing style. The Race MotoGP Podcast panel, consisting of Simon Patterson, Valentin Khorounzhiy, and Matt Beer, discussed Acosta’s potential to win races and whether KTM should expedite his promotion to their main team. Additionally, the panel debated the prospects of KTM and Aprilia challenging Ducati this season, as well as how Marc Marquez’s title chances look after his initial race with Ducati. The disappointing performances of Honda and Yamaha, traditional powerhouses in the sport, were also analyzed. For more insights, the podcast can be listened to on Apple Podcasts or on Spotify.”
