Pedro​ Acosta: The Rising Star of‌ MotoGP

At just 19 years and 304 days old, Pedro Acosta has⁤ already made a‌ name for himself in the world of MotoGP.​ His third ⁤place finish at the Portuguese Grand Prix last weekend makes him the third ⁣youngest rider in the premium category ⁤to score a podium. ‍Only Randy ‌Mamola and ‌Eduardo Salatino have achieved this feat at a younger age.

But ⁢what makes Acosta’s achievement even more impressive is the level ‌of competition in the current world championship. Since the arrival of Marc Marquez in 2013, no newcomer has performed⁤ at the level of the Tech3 youngster. He has already proven himself‍ capable of stealing the limelight ⁤from ‍established stars like Francesco⁤ Bagnaia and⁤ even Marquez ⁤himself.

In just ⁣two races, Acosta‍ has shown his potential and⁢ has already caught the attention of the MotoGP world. His stats and the calculations ⁢made by Pierer Mobility ⁣suggest that he could become the spearhead of Stefan Pierer’s group. And if the⁣ comments from his rivals are anything to go by, ‍he may⁤ already ⁢be there.

In his ‍first race in the premier class, Acosta finished⁤ ninth⁢ but⁤ was hampered by ‍an arm​ overload in the final laps. Despite this, he ⁢still managed ⁣to record the fastest lap, making him the youngest ever to do so. In the second race, ‌he made remarkable progress through the pack and sent out‍ a‍ statement by ​passing ⁢reigning champion Bagnaia.

His aggressive riding ⁣style and ability to make the ⁣bike bend to his⁤ whim have impressed ‍his rivals. ‍Jack Miller, Brad Binder, and even Marquez himself⁤ have all praised ‍Acosta’s talent and riding style. Miller even admitted ⁢that he wishes​ he could ride like Acosta.

But it’s not ​just his on-track ​performance that has caught⁣ the attention of​ the MotoGP world. Acosta’s treatment within the Pierer Mobility group is also indicative of his importance. He is ⁢already being treated as⁢ an official rider and ⁢has access to the same ‌parts as his⁣ more experienced teammates.

However, Acosta’s contract is not as locked in as the team would like. But for now, the sporting project takes priority over the economic side. And Acosta is making the most of this ⁣situation, just like he ​does with the bike he ‍rides.

At just 19 years old, Acosta has quickly emerged as​ one of KTM’s most precious assets. And with his ‌talent and determination, he is set to ​achieve great things‌ in MotoGP. As his teammate Augusto Fernandez says, “He’s ⁣going straight⁤ ahead.‌ Politics ⁣and games don’t interest him, and ⁣that’s a good thing in a company like this.”

So keep an eye ‍on⁢ Pedro⁤ Acosta, the ⁤rising ⁢star of MotoGP. He may just ⁢surprise us all⁣ and fight for the title this ⁤year.
