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.
