Jorge Lorenzo

Dani Pedrosa put him on a pedestal, Marc Marquez predicted the future of a legend and Jorge Lorenzo could not be absent from this concert of praise in front of this compatriot Pedro Acosta, definitely capable of ensuring the succession of the noble Spanish lineage in Grand Prix. It must be said that the basis is good, that the figures speak in favor of this shark which makes its adversaries pass off as freshwater fish. But in 2024, he will be in the deep end, where there are no small fry but only predators who have seen others. A step which will be a formality assures Por Fuera who, in addition, has closely studied the one that the GASGAS Tech3 team will welcome in 2024. Well, normally…

… Normally because there is always this background noise in the paddock which wants Jack Miller goes from orange to red to make way for the young prodigy, for whom we have already put, in Mattighofen, Pol Espargaro semi-retired. But let's return to the expertise of the five-time World Champion Jorge Lorenzo. The latter first starts from this unanimously shared observation: “ I am speechless at what Pedro Acosta has done over the last three years. Last season he didn't fight for the Moto2 World Championship due to his unfortunate injury, but I think he is predestined. He is predestined to become world champion, he has already been in Moto3 and Moto2, but he will also be in MotoGP ».

That being said, he elaborates: “ We told me that he got up at 5 a.m., went to the gym for two hours and did his first motorcycle session for two to three hours. Then he was going to eat before another double motorcycle session in the afternoon. He works all day. Pedro Acosta is a tireless worker, a perfectionist »Ensures Jorge Lorenzo, three-time champion of the premier category, DAZN. " And when you combine talent, perfectionism and discipline, you become a beast ».

Jorge Lorenzo: “ Pedro Acosta has a favorable way of riding in MotoGP, especially on a Ducati »

Then there is also the style: “ he generally likes to lean into curves very quickly to grab the rope very quickly, he turns the bike in a few meters then puts it straight. This way of riding is favorable in MotoGP, especially on a Ducati, with which you have to angle the curves. Drifting in Moto2 is not easy at all because they have very little power compared to MotoGP. And no electronics. It's a very extreme style of riding, which requires a lot of confidence. Leaving the buttocks well centered on the seat, but moving the entire upper part of the body towards the inside of the curve. A very extreme posture ».

« Pedro Acosta in MotoGP will find a large bike, but it is perhaps the most compact bike. Maybe the MotoGP is a little bigger than the Moto2 bike, which will allow him to have his knees a little more open. To finish, it's a much more sophisticated motorcycle in terms of aerodynamics or electronics with twice the power and 50% more weight » Por Fuera further specifies.

This presentation made, he concludes: “ I believe that one or two pilots like Acosta are born every ten years. There really is everything. He is talented, disciplined, hard-working and demanding, and he wins races as if they were eating or walking... For him, it's normal. Off the track, he is a very kind, humble, funny, natural person and everyone loves him. There is everything ". So there's nothing left to do.
