Super debut
The MotoGP debut of the Spanish baby phenomenon Pedro Acosta, fresh from two world titles won in three years between Moto3 and Moto2, did not disappoint expectations. The Spaniard crossed the finish line of the Qatar GP in ninth place after spending over half the race in brawl for the top five positions with the various Martins, Binder and Marquez and also taking home the challenge of taking home the fastest lap in the race.
What a celebration for the Shark
As soon as he got off the bike, in the GasGas team's garage, the Shark of Mazarrón was overwhelmed by hugs and applause of its engineers and mechanics. The behind-the-scenes video published by Dorna shows that there has certainly been no shortage of compliments towards Acosta, who has already put himself forward as a possible great protagonist of the season, especially once he becomes more familiar with the new bike.
“You're a fucking superstar!“, is the first 'message' that is delivered to the Spanish champion as soon as he gets off the bike. Then, after a whole series of celebrations, a very first one begins hot analysis of what just happened on the track. “You set the track record“, is then reported to Acosta, who with a joke is also asked how the management of the tires was: “Good!”, the response of the rookie, still out of breath.
Acosta's hot analysis
“The start wasn't bad, The problem is that Jack [Miller] he passed me. He was fast and passed me and the bike started moving like this and like that [fa segni con le mani]. The bike was fast. Sometimes I moved out of the slipstream to let the tires cool down – Acosta continued in his immediate debrief – then before passing [Marc] Marquez I went wide with him. So I told myself to wait a moment. But getting through was incredible. We had the pace to stay with Bastianini and Marquez. Maybe not more, but we could have been fourth-fifth-sixth“, he concluded.
