Peter Acosta

Pedro Acosta is the great hope of tomorrow, so much so that many have already given him confirmation. The question is no longer whether he will go to MotoGP, but when, which leads to another question that is making the transfer market feverish: but with whom? In a world where negotiations are constantly open and where futures are decided in a few races or on impressions, Pedero Acosta, at only 17 years old, plays it fair and is already morally committed to KTM...

Peter Acosta has not yet reached the age of majority however, his manager and still boss in the box Aki Ajo insists his approach is old school. A paradox which is confirmed with this remark from the World Champion of a Moto3 which he approached as a rookie, a status which he will have this year by discovering Moto2… “ KTM was the first brand that believed in me, even though I had nothing » he said in an interview with The Race relayed by Motosan. " Since then, I have always had this phrase in mind, “we believe in you”. Since that day, I always thought, why not go to MotoGP with them? ».

The Spaniard is therefore already making a date, which we will not fail to remind him of if he changes direction for a better opportunity, both sporting and financial. In this sense, it differs from a Raul fernandez who had spoken with Yamaha to get into MotoGP. A dissimilarity that also emerges when he evaluates his team Garlic... " I believed in Aki and his team from day one. I will bring my Moto3 team leader to Moto2. I have Remy's analyst, one of his mechanics and a new one. They will help me, but we will have to grow together " precise Acosta the faithful.

Pedro Acosta: “I have to learn, I have to grow in Moto2”

But in fact, before finding an RC16 which will have to be released to him, which is already putting pressure on the current four Mattighofen drivers, how does he approach this Moto2? “ I have to learn, I have to grow in Moto2 ", entrusts Acosta who is already happy about one thing: “ Moto2 is much better than Moto3. It's a lot more fun, and you don't need to use the clutch with the gearbox. The plan for winter is like in Moto3. Try to learn, try to be more competitive in all events and not stop training ».

In Moto2, Augusto Fernandez will share the box with Acosta. A partner who can help the young Murcian a lot. “ Right now I have a solid teammate to learn a lot from. I'm sure it will make things easier for me, because when you have a guy on the other side of the box pushing you every time you go to the track, it's a lot better for you. I have to learn a lot of things and he helps me ". The tandem formed can reproduce the domination seen in 2021 in the category with Remy gardner et Raul fernandez. For the greatest satisfaction of KTM.
