Pedro Acosta reveals his strategy at KTM: “I don’t want to be a prostitute”
After the San Marino Grand Prix and the Rimini Riviera Grand Prix, testing will take place at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. Marc Marquez won the race ahead of Pecco Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini on a Ducati Desmosedici GP24.MotoGP riders performed. Monday’s test involved testing new features to improve the performance of the prototype..
Pedro AcostaThe Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 driver was no exception and at the end of the day he expressed his feelings to his colleagues at Motorsport:We’ve been trying a lot of things, some of them for next year, and we don’t want to try too many things for next year because we don’t want to fail with seven races to go. It’s not that I don’t like the bike, it’s just that I’ve already tried better bikes. That wasn’t even the plan, which is why Brad Binder is still there. He is an official pilot and has to do these things more than I do.
“The Shark of Mazarron” During the test he completed 73 laps, 29 in the morning and 44 after lunch.he said.We have also been challenged this year with some fairing and electronics issues, things that could have really helped us to be more competitive early in the race. And don’t let go of the people in front of me. “I think we’ve come to a positive conclusion, especially on the subject of electronics.”
Acosta also explained why he changed direction so many times.“The drivers who will be joining the official team next year will be Binder and myself. This is what I think.” In the end, I took on more challenges than he did, but that’s what I came here for, not just to ride the same bike around all year round.It was clear that especially next year things will need to be tested, analysed and if necessary a second test will be done. We have to focus on what we have this year, what we can use this season and what that allows us to be competitive now.I’ll start worrying about next year starting in November.
