No one had ever managed to win the Moto3 title in their debut season. Pedro Acosta he succeeded, immediately digging an important gap between himself and the competition in the first part of the season and then resisting the return of Sergio Garcia and Dennis Foggia, who in 2022 will remain in the entry class to play what promises to be a rematch. Acosta, on the other hand, will be at the start in Moto2, after having refused the possibility of going directly to MotoGP. The Spaniard will turn 18 in 2022 and is still growing, centimeters that have already made it difficult for him to maintain the very high standard of performance shown at the beginning of the season. For this Acosta preferred to follow the gradual path without skipping the fundamental step in Moto2, a step that for example Jack Miller did not observe paying the price for this haste in the early years in MotoGP.
Pedro Acosta in the Jerez texts was able to take measurements for the Moto2 for the first time, after having prepared for the 600cc by driving road models. Mazarron’s ‘shark’ will always be inside the structure managed by the Finnish team manager Aki Ajo, who in 2021 dominated the Moto2 class with Remy Gardner and Raul Fernandez, both promoted to MotoGP within Hervé Poncharal’s team, the Tech-3. Ajo applauded Acosta’s work during the two-day test held in the Andalusian Cathedral: “Pedro made no mistakes and improved step by step – explained the Scandinavian manager reached by the German newspaper Speedweek.com – even if the times were obviously not important in this very first phase of approach to the new category, he was already within a few tenths of the best. He prepared for the category jump by training with 600cc road bikes, obviously he had very different sensations from those he was used to in Moto3, there are still many details to learn if you want to aim for the top of the category, but we are very satisfied of this first test session “.
