The Majorcan is bewitched by the debutant
“But is it Pedro Acosta or Casey Stoner?” As Jorge Lorenzo on Instagram commented on the Spanish driver's shakedown in Malaysia by publishing images that effectively evoked the Australian's driving style. Acosta has already exceeded expectations in just three MotoGP race weekends. In Qatar he overtook Marc Marquez only to then pay for the tire collapse, a collapse that has not occurred since Portimao.
In Portugal Acosta finished in third position, passing Marquez and Bagnaia on the track, but on the eve of the Austin weekend he underlined that from his point of view he had not finished third, but fourth, because the podium arrived thanks to the technical knockout at last lap of Maverick Vinales. In Texas, the second place finish, however, has notrick' except for Marquez's fall shortly after the eight-time world champion had taken the lead, displacing the GasGas rider.
According to Jorge Lorenzo, Jerez could already be a 'must win' race for Pedro Acosta: “If he doesn't have any bad luck, Acosta could already win in Jerez – said the five-time world champion during the podcast Duralavida – technically he is more ready than all the other riders who have recently arrived in MotoGP. After all, he was training in Cartagena with a 1000m already at 11-12 years old. The only thing Acosta needs to stay away from right now is a disastrous fall. You could pay dearly for an excess of confidence.”. Acosta broke his femur in 2022, an injury that Acosta believes may have saved him from other physical knockouts.
