Double in Misano
The weekend of Misano-2 will be particularly important for Peter AcostaThe second consecutive round held on the track named after Marco Simoncelli will in fact represent the first time in MotoGP in which Spanish will be able to use data already collected previously on the same track. An interesting opportunity for test not only his progress but also that made by KTM. Immediately after the San Marino GP weekend, important tests were held that allowed the riders to try out the improvements designed by the various manufacturers also with a view to next season.
We are competitive
Speaking to the media present in Misano, including FormulaPassion.itAcosta showed satisfaction with the work done by KTM both in terms of the future and the current level of performance of the bike, achieved after a rather complicated central part of the season: “Things we can try here? There is aerodynamics: we have finally homologated a new package – explained the Spaniard – but there aren’t many other things. I’m quite calm because I know that the pace we have now is quite competitive.. We’re not touching a lot of things like we did at the beginning of the season. We’re just trying to improve my performance and be more competitive. Maybe [il miglioramento] It is also due to the fact that I’m understanding electronics a little better and all these things. This helped me a lot in the last two races too”.
Towards 2025
Even the tests carried out in view of 2025 seem to have given Acosta confidence in the direction taken by KTM: “It wasn’t love at first sight – said the Spanish rookie speaking about the new bike – but to tell the truth, above all I didn’t want to fall, because in the end there was only one and I had to try to use it at different times. For this reason I didn’t push much and I lapped on times 2-3 tenths slower than the bike I had used for the whole previous weekend pushing hard. For this reason, to be honest, I was very happy with the new bike“he concluded.
