Pedro Acosta, fourth in the sprint race and second in the classification | The truth

Positive Saturday for Pedro Acosta. Although he started second and finished fourth in the sprint race, the day served to confirm that he is already among the best in MotoGP. Maverick Viñales, the best all day, took the win, followed by Marc Márquez and Jorge Martín.

Acosta's start was not good, as he gave up second position to Marc Márquez. Even so, he did not lose the Catalan's trail at any time and from the first round the two starred in an exciting duel. The 'Shark' harassed and Márquez defended himself tooth and nail, which favored Viñales, who left in first position, and Jorge Martín, who arrived from behind and joined the fight.

In fact, after an overtake that he was unable to retain, Acosta lost strength and also gave up third position to Jorge Martín. The current runner-up in the world managed to open a gap and in this race with a reduced format there was no time for more. In any case, a positive balance for the man from Mazarrón, who adds six more points to his locker and will fight again on Sunday, when he will start second.

Fermín Aldeguer will also start second in Moto2

For the second consecutive grand prix, Fermín Aldeguer will also come second in Moto2. In the last attempt, the pole position escaped the La Ñora driver, as it was snatched by Aron Canet, a veteran of the category and overall leader at the start of the season, by one tenth. Sergio García will complete the front row of the grid.

In any case, Aldeguer, one of the big favorites for the title, is starting to get started. Although he started off average, far from his overwhelming level at the end of last year, the one from La Ñora is going from less to more and will once again aspire to victory in Sunday's race.
