Pedro Acosta reveals the biggest lesson he learned from this year’s MotoGP: “It was hitting the wall 40 times and realizing it wasn’t.”
Although Pedro Acosta is still unable to cross the finish line first in a MotoGP race, there is no denying that he will be competing against one of the fittest riders at the end of the 2025 season. Another example of this is the Valencia GP Sprint.
The KTM rider finished second behind the talented Alex Marquez, achieving his fourth consecutive podium in Saturday’s race.
“It was a good race. It’s unfortunate that I made a mistake in Turn 8. I think I have to be happy.” “This is a new penalty for the post. Sooner or later we’re going to have to put in a penalty.”He talked about the arrival of his first MotoGP victory on DAZN.
“LThe greater the teachings, the more calm people will surely become.. It wasn’t that bad before and it’s still not that good despite being on the podium. I wish I had taken it easy at the beginning of the year. But you know that when a pilot has a goal in mind, it’s hard to give up on it. It cost a lot of money. When I clicked, Carmelo Morales and I worked on our emotions. Dani Pedrosa also helped me a lot. It’s an accumulation of what the team has helped me with. I hit the wall 40 times before I realized that wasn’t the case. We think things weren’t so bad before and aren’t that good now.
Sunday’s race will give Acosta another shot at achieving his long-awaited first win in MotoGP. Although they will start in 5th place, they are ready to compete against Portugal, who finished in 3rd place.
“unfortunately We should be able to get off to a good start again. I know it will be difficult to overtake in Valencia and I don’t know how the second half of the race will go, so I’m a little nervous. You have to try to stay as far ahead as possible, avoid mistakes and see how far you can go. “It’s going to be almost an endurance race,” he said in conclusion.

Verstappen announced the conditions under which he will run in the legendary race in 2026
Max Verstappen says his participation in the Nürburgring 24 Hours is in doubt.
The four-time F1 champion has long been involved in endurance racing and is actively racing and testing in GT3, but full preparation for the Nordschleife marathon coincides with the Formula 1 calendar. The preparation races coincide with the F1 stages and the Dutchman does not want to go to the start without them.
“It’s very difficult to give a definitive answer right now,” Max said.
“I would like to start well prepared, but the preparation races coincide with Formula 1. Therefore, this year I will only be able to participate in the race if there is a change in the calendar.”
Therefore, Verstappen’s participation in the 2026 Nürburgring 24 Hours is still in doubt and directly depends on possible changes in the program or compromises between Formula 1 and the marathon training program.

The first week of Formula 1 testing is approaching. The teams are preparing for the first joint test at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, followed by two more sessions in Bahrain.
The first cars to take to the track were Audi and Cadillac, now Racing Bulls have joined them. The Faenza team chose Imola as their “home” for the debut of the 2026 model.
The outgoing Alfa Tauri and Toro Rosso recently unveiled livery at an event in Detroit alongside Red Bull, but the actual vehicles of the new generation remain largely under wraps for now. There will be multiple technical changes before the season starts in Melbourne.
In the 2026 season, Alan Permain’s team will field Liam Lawson and debutant Arvid Lindblad. In the context of radically updated regulations, testing will be vital for the adaptation of pilots and crews.
Therefore, Racing Bulls decided not to wait for official testing in Barcelona. Today VCARB03 will travel approximately 15 km as part of an exercise to check the accuracy of the assembly, and on January 22 the team will conduct a full shooting day with 200 km of driving allowed.

When things go wrong, the simplest thing to do is to look for the culprit where there were only heroes before, and resort to the classic “I already told you so”, which strangely enough, almost no one has ever said before. Many of these are also what set Athletic apart.
to All good people will come together. On the other hand, there is also a line to jump off the ship. There, the more storms come, the more you have to be obsessed with color. The mark of distinction lies in being there when things go wrong.
QIt is clear that Valverde’s team are not having their best moments. on the contrary. The situation is getting worse.
YoLions captain Nyaki Williams looked invincible a few months ago. Well, in a short period of time he has already suffered two muscle injuries. I can’t think of it.
TTherefore, it is necessary to emphasize what the athletic forward has achieved so far. Both on and off the field. His dedication has been, and continues to be, without question. By now, some critics will remember how he celebrated his popular flight home in time to face Barça in the cup.
toTime has not passed the best moments. It’s not about soccer or physicality. And if a player in a similar condition is injured, others can already knock on wood.
NOr athletics who claim not to leave it alone are fine. To understand this, it is enough to look back at the games played throughout the new year. Either way, it’s time to prove you’re unique. Both inside and outside the green.
