Acosta: “We heard the conversation with Rossi’s team with respect, but we wouldn’t have forced the KTM exit, as experts.”

If someone is known for MotoGP’s huge charisma Pedro Acosta (Mazarrón, 2004) . Murcia never bites her tongue and is faithful to the way she expresses herself far differently than what journalists are used to. Therefore, when we can interview you, we know it doesn’t go through the branch, what is the problem we have at the forefront? Red Bull Spain gave us the opportunity to chat with Spanish Castelloli Circuit And he told us that it was behind the rumors that united the team. Rossilevel Mark Marquez and your current relationship KTM. 10 minutes next to the bike of his life that he had to utilize.

What are the main missions of the second part of the World Cup after the summer stop??

Now, we have to go calmly. The truth is that I almost tried to make a mistake. I think that’s what I killed a bit, especially at the beginning of this year. And little by little they are getting closer to the podium. Ultimately, before summer, we won our first podium at Brno. After that, the improvements KTM brings will help us to refine a bit and see if we can be constant on the podium.

He described it as a black hole at the beginning of the season. Is it difficult?

Yes, in the end, this is like everything. If you’re not used to these things, it’s even more difficult. So I have already decided a bad year for me as the first year I’ve been to with Moto2. Despite everything, I won three races, I had five podiums. Well, that was a year. We started the year we were supposed to be fighting for something important and it was hard to assimilate, but here we are.

In fact, in Aragon he said he was at the highest level he had been using MotoGP, but the results showed no sign of that. How is that frustration handled?

In the end, you have to accept it. The moment you accept that a lot is out of your hands, it’s when you start to see the positivity and try to improve the areas you can improve. Not everything is in one. So, I think what I say to you is that the first step is to accept it. Because ultimately, when you’re used to everything, you throw it at you. But that’s what I say to you, we’ll move this forward.

“There are six motorcycles that are the remaining steps above, and it’s clear that we are always trying to use the best materials.”

Last year, when we did our final interview of the year, when I asked him what KTM needs to be improved, he talked about packs that you need to improve too. But this year he began by saying he had finished his patience. It gives you a sense of a step forward, but is the factory not alive instead?

Well, it’s true that what I told you earlier this year wasn’t easy. I think I’ve made too many mistakes. After Le Mans, I took a very big step, especially when I manipulated my arms. But hey, I think I was a lot of annoyed. After all, I cured the winter and I had everything I had.

And when I could square things, that’s what I told you. The level or method of piloting the MotoGP was at a higher level than last year. So I think it was what I wanted most. Say “too few.”

However, at Brno, the podium arrived and the podium arrived. It is true that they are not the victory that he is looking for. But, well, a rest of fresh air, the motivation for this second part of the World Cup. Plus, Viñales has a slightly more optimistic speech. Has anything already changed in KTM?

Well, in the end everything will be quiet, but that’s not small. The truth is that I am happy. Because, that podium, what you say, we all needed it. Emotionally we needed everything. Then a rest of fresh air.

What I say to you is that we are slowly getting closer to what KTM brings. I think we’ll take another step. What you say is true and they are not victory, but we have to focus on how bad it is that we started the year, and that we are now consistent on the podium. So if we start from there, I think it will be a good second part of the year.

He repeats that KTM is carrying something new. I don’t know if they’ll tell me what’s coming…

No, there’s nothing.

And the high expectations you had within you for everything you’ve achieved so far may have made a bad pass at a level that clashed with the optimism there.

There is no optimism. In the end I know what I can do. People’s opinions, what they think about me… There were a lot of expectations on many days and I was the first one that we said today wasn’t for this. But when you have such a clear idea in your head or you have such a clear idea in your head, I am the first person to trust me.

I know how to wake up every morning, because I know I work for myself, I know what is suffering on my own. Because ultimately, as the song “7, 10, 500 nights” said, it’s something that you say to you many times. At the end of the night, I eat by myself. I know what I’m doing for myself and know that things will work. Expectations are you going to have to leave them a little bit next.

Last year, he said, “I can’t win every weekend.” Have you ever learned to calm those spirits and go step by step, or follow the desire for victory that will allow you to sleep?

Of course they are still there (their desires), and ultimately the reason I wake up every morning. So I go to the gym, so I go by bike. So I do things I don’t want to get one thing. The desire for victory and desire is still there.

Often, what you can do is not in your hands. I don’t think you need to obfuscate too much, you’re not always trying to throw your backpack full on your back and look at the positives. Of them, it wasn’t our best start, that’s what I’m telling you. That’s what I’m telling you, hopefully Pedro, who won the Moto2 World Cup two years ago, would have worked as much as he’s doing now, he’s got little results.

And what changed with Pedro a year ago?

Nothing has changed. Ultimately, it’s desire. They are the desire for the outcome to arrive, and they are the desire to be in a place where you may think so. It’s not that nothing has changed. The first year of MotoGP has adapted a bit, and the second year already knows what’s going to be.

With such a complicated start, there was a lot of talk about your future at KTM, which was not left to DUCIS. Now it is already known that it is because they have a contract next year, but we confirmed that there was a conversation from the Valentino Rossi team as he asked about the situation. What can you tell us about the movement, and why did you seek Ducati?

I think when someone comes to talk to you, you always have to listen to it. I know there are other brands. I know that there are six motorcycles in the truck that currently has a little bit of a step in the rest. Ultimately, you want to be on the best motorcycles as they are always viable for the results to arrive. But that’s what I say to you, you have to listen to the people who come to talk to you all the time.

If there was a place in 2026, did you want to force that option, KTM output?

no. Before the pilot we are experts. Then we must continue the path we have.

And with this level of Mark Marquez we see, do you think it’s impossible to fight him on a non-Ducati motorcycle or even a Ducati?

In the end, they joined one of the greatest pilots in history and won the best motorcycle of the moment. White and in the bottle. After that, the mark is on a very high level, and the Ducati is on a very high level, and it is clear that even kids who bring the same bike struggle to win. But anyway, I think I can do difficult things too.

It grew up with KTM all your life, is 2026 the ultimate for them?

I think 2026 is the year that needs to be done well for me, for everyone, for me, for me. We’ll see what happens. They gave me a lot, I gave them a lot, we have a relationship that is always passing through Austria through the factory as if it were my home. You have to think calmly, 2026 has a long time. We have to focus on the second part of this season, we have time to do it well and warm our heads.

“I think there are ways of being that are not common in these times, but I think I’m the first uncle who’s faced.”

Is it difficult to be true to yourself in a world where it is already closed, characterized by brutal charisma from cues, but everything is in a very strict script??

As you say, everything is now very politically correct. In the end it has to be the same. Without this for 25 years, it’s not easy to do things you don’t like. I think I have a slightly different way of thinking, I think there are ways of being in these times that are not common, but I think I am the first uncle who has a face.

Did you try to stop for some reason?

Ultimately, we need to remember everything that I am 21 years old and that God was not born. So you have to take it easily. It’s clear that in 21 years you’re always wrong. You will never be clean. But in the end, that’s what I say to you, life is learning, you have to learn.

Are there any replies or anything you regret?

No, I don’t think there’s anything I need to regret in this life. What has been done, done, and happened cannot be changed. Depending on the context, I think all the answers suit them. Ultimately, WhatsApp messages can also be misunderstood in response to humor.

Now, Pedro, for he is blessing on what is coming and everything that has been achieved.

Thank you very much.
