Is Pedro Acosta a Fabio Quartararo or is he a Marc Marquez? KTM’s about to find out as Acosta’s impatience gets more assertive
There is a debate on whether Pedro Acosta is more similar to Fabio Quartararo or Marc Marquez in terms of his performance and potential in MotoGP.
KTM’s MotoGP program faces a number of existential questions, with Acosta’s commitment to the team being a major concern that the recent investor Bajaj Auto should consider.
Acosta’s contract with KTM extends until 2026, but the team’s future beyond that is uncertain, especially with the lack of confirmation for the 2027 season.
As Acosta gains attention in the rider market, his on-track performances have been scrutinized, leading to discussions about his importance and potential at KTM.
During the recent Silverstone race, Acosta openly criticized KTM’s MotoGP project, expressing frustration with the team’s performance and his desire to compete at a higher level.
