While it’s only testing, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta’s smooth adaptation to MotoGP can’t be ignored as he impressed again on day-two of the Sepan🅷g test.

The GASGAS Tech 3 KTM rider finished just six tওenths behind Enea Bastianini, who set a new unof🀅ficial lap record.

Acos🐽ta’s pace over race distance has been getting stronger day after day, but it’s also his time attack runs which are starting to make waves too.

“It was not so bad,” said Acosta after Wednesday’s running. “We are h🧸appy because we are 0.5s faster tha🉐n yesterday, 0.4s faster than the Shakedown. For this, we are coming.”

Although a two-ti🍰me world champion thanks to his success in Moto3 and Moto🍸2, Acosta arrived in MotoGP as one of the most impressive young riders the series has ever seen.

And his testing performances have backed that up completely, howe🍒ver, the level in MotoGP is arguably better🌱 than ever.

The teenager admits that the riders around him have a lot more experience and that this will count for something as he continues to grow in the cl🅘assꦏ.

“I was counting how many world champions are ahead of me and I could count six or seven, so tജhis is MotoGP,” added Acosta. 

“These guys have experience. They spend a lot of years in MotoGP but on t🦋he other hand they spent a lot of years in the world championship.

“This is only my third year comi♔ng 💟to Malaysia. It is not so many. These guys know how to go fast.

“They know how to go fast, thꦬey are not a track day guy. They know ho🌺w to do it for the settings [of the bike].”

Much faster than the Shakedown test, Acosta has been faster e🎃very day that he’s taken to the Sepang circuit, but he knows that more is needed in terms of race pace to become a challenger for big results.

Discussing his race pace, Acosta said: “Better than yesterday. We are on the way🅠. It is not enough at the moment but is it getting better.

“This is comin🌱g. Now we are fastꦆer over one lap and we are faster on the way to do the lap.

“We are faster with race pace and ♒understand the electronics better.”
