Pedro Acosta finished the first day of testing for the Dutch Grand Prix with the sixteenth time. The Assen TT circuit, although legendary, has not always been favorable to the Spaniard, and this opening day seemed to confirm this trend.
For his debut in the premier category at the TT Circuit, Acosta achieved a time of 1'33.283 during the first free practice session, placing him in 14th position, and last driver less than a second behind the session leader. In the afternoon, the rookie managed to improve his time by more than a second, temporarily remaining in the top 10 until the time trial session. However, despite continued improvement in his sectors, a yellow flag canceled his fastest lap, leaving him outside the top 10.
« It wasn't the easiest day and the tests were a bit confusing with the Miller-Martin incident and the yellow flag at the end »Comments Peter Acosta. " The bike was a little unstable today, so we have a few areas to improve. The most important thing for me is that Brad Binder was competitive today, so we will analyze his data so we can come in well prepared tomorrow ».
