The name of the day in Spanish sports was Pedro Acosta. And logically in the paddock of the Malaysian Sepang circuit everyone talked about him and the future he has ahead of him in MotoGP. The one who focused the most on analyzing his figure was Marc Márquez, a reference and living legend of Spanish motorcycling. «I am not the new Marc Márquez. “I am the new Pedro Acosta,” the Puerto de Mazarrón pilot said yesterday. That’s why they asked the Cervera rider, eight-time world champion (six in MotoGP).
«I won’t put any labels, because I have always hated him. Each pilot has his era. Every driver has his years and every driver has his moment. Nobody is the ‘anti’. Each one has his seasons, his years, until another comes. And it is sport. Nobody is eternal. Doohan had his time, Rossi had his time, Lorenzo, Stoner had his time… Then I arrived and now others will arrive. Quartararo, Bagnaia, Acosta have arrived… And there will be one of these who is going to win many world championships in MotoGP, the one who does things best is the one who is going to win them,” Marc Márquez said yesterday in Sepang.
And, of course, he praised Acosta. «I put a tweet in his first race in Moto3. I was at home, because he was injured. And I said: ‘Pedro is good, he is very good.’ And he is proving it, the numbers speak for themselves. One can aim in many ways, one can achieve specific results, as happens and has happened in the past. But when you win when it’s your turn to win, score when it’s your turn to score, when you don’t waste time and go for the job, that’s when the results speak. “Pedro will give a lot to talk about in MotoGP and he can, and I believe, that he will mark an era in MotoGP,” he said.
«Pedro will give a lot to talk about in MotoGP. Each pilot has his time, his years and his moment. “I won’t put any labels.”
Jorge Lorenzo has a similar opinion, who yesterday asked Acosta, in a live broadcast they shared on DAZN, to “never” change his way of being. “I would tell you not to change because success weakens you, success softens you and can make you settle and not continue working,” the former Balearic pilot began by saying. «I think it won’t happen to you because you have very clear ideas. Do not change your way of facing life, the discipline you have, the hard work that makes you unique in that too, as your personality also makes you unique, the naturalness that you have, above all, that there is, for me, no pilot “Just as natural as you are, it sets you apart a lot, you make me laugh a lot in interviews,” said the three-time MotoGP champion.
