Pedro Acosta spoke passionately about the Qatar Grand Prix, where KTM showed promising signs, led by a fiery Maverick Viñales. The Mazarrón rookie also addressed the controversy surrounding his move to La Revuelta and his admiration for Marc Márquez, the undisputed leader of MotoGP in 2025.
Always so frank, Peter Acosta has once again delivered himself without filter on Nico Abad's YouTube channel. Barely the Qatar Grand Prix finished, the young Spanish driver looked back on the contrasting weekend of KTM, the performances of Maverick Vinales, his own progression, and even the controversy surrounding his notable appearance on small screens during the off-season.
From the first words taken up by motosan, Acosta does not hide his admiration for his famous teammate Casa Particular in Viñales, author of a remarkable race last Sunday: “ Maverick had a great raceHe started in front, moved up to fourth on the first lap and then accelerated. The bike was finally working well. When everything is going well, he shows all his talent. »
And Acosta recalls a detail that is too often forgotten: “ Maverick's talent should not be overlooked. He is the only one to have won with three different brands. What he did on Sunday is no surprise., it was a matter of time »
For its part, Acosta continues to discover the roller coaster of MotoGP. Between a complicated Saturday and a much more convincing Sunday, the contrasts were striking: " It was night and day. The bike was the same, but all the problems were gone. It's complicated, but we're moving forward step by step. »
Pedro Acosta: “ My comment about Marc Marquez was misinterpreted. It was a comedy show. »
He also took the opportunity to clarify the controversy that arose from his appearance on the comedy show La Resistencia: " I think it was misinterpreted. It was a comedy show. You have to know how to put things into perspective. »
But it is his look on Marc Marquez which says a lot about the ambition and humility of the pilot from Mazarrón: " Today, Marc is the driver to beat. He has won every race except one. More than wanting to beat him, I would first like to be able to lose to him.. Fighting someone like him, even if you lose, would already be a big step. »
Acosta moves forward with lucidity in an environment where learning is tough, but where positive signs accumulate. Respectful of his rivals, aware of his limits but determined to push them, he embodies the spirit of a young wolf ready to grow in the merciless arena of MotoGP.
