Pedro Acosta is not yet of age but he has won the votes for his involvement and his love of competition. His boss in the box Aki Ajo even identified genes that classify him among those of the “old school” while he is the herald of the whole new generation. Moto3 World Champion in his first season at this level in Grand Prix, he will be in Moto2 in 2022 with the same ambition as a rookie. However, he is not resting on his laurels when vacation time has come. Thus, he helps KTM during this winter break in the development of the 2022 vintage of the KTM RC250GP.
This is called getting involved and your employers can only rejoice about it. Peter Acosta, who no longer has anything to prove in Moto3 since crowned with the 2021 crown, made himself available to the engineers of the Mattighofen firm for the development of the 2022 opus.

A gesture that Vazquez, official tester of the Austrian brand, wanted to thank through a post which the Basque runner shared on his social networks and which was spotted by Todocircuito : " working to be able to give the best possible weapons is not the job of one person », he recalls. “ Behind the test driver, there are engineers, mechanics, designers, directors, official drivers and even world champions from time to time, who pass the category, but who, until December 31, are fully committed to leaving the best possible motorcycle to the riders who remain with the brand ».
Albert Arenas also helped last year like Pedro Acosta this year
As Albert Arenas did it at the end of 2020, Pedro Acosta was not demotivated by his status as champion or the fact of jumping to Moto2 in 2022, to return to the track with a Moto3 and thus contribute to the work of his factory. : “ Albert Arenas did the same at the end of 2020 after being proclaimed Moto3 world champion, leaving aside part of his vacation, and his preparation for Moto2. This year, Pedro Acosta has once again shown the commitment that exists on the part of KTM/Husqvarna/GASGAS riders to want to leave the best possible bike to those who continue ", Explain Efrén Vázquez. The rider took advantage of this message to thank the Mattighofen factory for continuing to trust him to develop his Moto3 RC250GP.
