Pedro Acosta, very harsh comments for 2025: “We didn’t fight for anything. It was a lost year in my life. I already told KTM that’s not what I came for.”
Pedro Acosta He is essentially a nonconformist. If it’s not the best, you won’t be happy. That mentality has led him to success. Because of this, despite finishing 4th overall and achieving a further 5 podiums, MotoGPis not enough for the Murcians.
And this was reflected in his analysis this year after his career ended. valencia In 4th place. What angers Pedro is not the fact that he has not been able to achieve the long-awaited victory in MotoGP, but rather the fact that Pedro is unable to fight to the end. ducati or in aprilia.
“There is no magic here in MotoGP and we each need to know what position we are in. This season was a bit disappointing, we didn’t fight for anything and it was like a lost year of our lives. And that is the reality,” Acosta told reporters in a statement compiled by Motorcycle Magazine.
”The first day I wanted to come here, I told KTM that’s not what I came for.. From the middle of this year until now, we have taken a big step forward and achieved a stable run. I think I now have a better understanding of how to read the race, where I stand and how to hold the bike. This is because in the past I was lacking in many things and fell down many times. But no, that’s not enough to qualify for the podium. ”
I couldn’t have asked for a better bike
Pedro Acosta never hesitates to determine where the problem lies when expectations are not met, as is clear from his statements. And the man from Mazarrón, who analyzed what happened in Valencia, showed that KTM has not yet reached parity with its rivals.
”What was missing? better bike. After all, we know our limits. Every time I get behind someone, they accelerate and take away time and I can’t get traction. Therefore, it is very difficult to compete for position far from braking. There are other circuits like Hungary that have more grip, but I got out close to people and it was very easy to throw yourself because when you let off the brake you throw yourself. ”
“But on a short and narrow circuit like Valencia, I had to start quite far back…That’s why I lost so many laps trying to close the distance to Alex, but I could always see him on the screen and I thought he would run away from me as I approached.” It’s never easy to throw yourself when you’re 20 meters behind you.” he said conclusively.

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.
