The debut of Pedro Acosta in Moto2 it was one of the most anticipated events of the first round of the World Championship, which took place last weekend in Qatar. On the Lusail track the young and very fast Spanish talent, who in Moto3 had conquered the title last year on his first attempt, winning as a rookie, was awaited by a much more demanding test bench: that intermediate category which is inevitably much more complicated and difficult of the light class. The 17-year-old from Mazarrón discovered it immediately, right from the first weekend of the year, struggling in qualifying, finding himself bottled up at the start, and then completing – not without hitches – only a partial recovery of the group. The lifts from the bottom had been one of the peculiar characteristics of the Acosta season in 2021, but in Moto2 the difficulties are decidedly accentuated.
“What happened? Casino at the start – explained the Iberian driver very simply to his country’s newspaper AS – when there are people with less rhythm than us this can happen, and it has happened. In the end it was the first race and after the way I started, I finished last, it was important to gain experience. It wasn’t bad at all, as the pace was pretty good. We had a podium pace, and that’s what I want to keep “. On the subject that made many discuss, his complicated comeback attempt – which ended with a dignified 12th place – Acosta was sincere: “The difficult thing is to get through them just as quickly. In Moto3, different positions can be recovered on a straight, while here it is difficult to recover one. But we have gathered information and experience, which is the important thing“, He concluded.
