About Diane Tamantini de Motoracing
An important name was missing from the protagonists of the second round of the year. Indeed, Peter Acosta didn't really shine on the Argentinian track, a surprise after the full throttle start from Portimao. The KTM Ajo flag bearer, on the other hand, did not impress in Argentina, especially in the race. The conditions were complex, the number of laps also reduced, but we were undoubtedly expecting much more than a sad 12th place. For Acosta, this will be an additional reason to catch up quickly and on another circuit, the COTA in Austin, where important results have yet to arrive.
Reviewing the Argentine GP, the two previous editions he contested speak of a 7th place on his debut and a P9 in 2022. For Acosta we therefore see a solid top ten in both cases, but this time he achieved his worst result at Termas de Río Hondo. We don't see any more excellent results in the GP of the Americas: before last year's 8th place it was more like four consecutive zeros.
Argentina was a race for survival » for Pedro Acosta
What to expect this season? It's a very long championship and making calculations is premature to say the least, but it's never a good thing to lose too many points from the start. It would also be very interesting to see a head-to-head with Tony Arbolino, clearly visible and provisionally in control of the general classification after podium and victory in the first two GPs. With eight points ahead of the little Spanish talent.
Apparently, however, Sunday's situation at Termas de Rio Hondo caused more difficulties than expected. Indeed, if we look at the previous rounds we notice that Pedro Acosta always saved the essential, finally obtaining 5th place on the starting grid. The arrival of rain completely turned the race plans upside down. “ We had to save the day Admitted Acosta. " Little risk and as many points as possible to take home. We made progress in the wet, but we need to improve in the first rounds “, he remarked. “ A race for survival » also added Aki Ajo, who is already looking towards the next GP. Like his driver, he is determined to catch up immediately and reaffirm his intentions in this new season. We will see if this changes the trend Austin.
