Acosta will join factory test rider and 31-time MotoGP race winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Dani Pedrosa at the🐟 Spanish track during a private test next Monday, according to Marca.com.
KTM has told ltxcn.top that Acosta's MotoGP outing will involve ‘just a few laps’ and is a ‘reward’ from motorsport director Pit Beirer for viꦚctory in the Valencia Moto2 season finale.
That race also saw team-mate Augusto Fernandez clinch the world title🥃 with second place.
After making history as t🌜he first rookie to win the Moto3 title last season, Acosta remained with Red Bull KTM Ajo for the step up to Moto2.
Although fast fromꦬ winter testing, incidents and penalties meant Acosta hadn’t finished in the top six prior to a debut Moto2 victory at round 8, iꦏn Mugello.
A further podium followed in Germany before the 18-year-old's season was interrupted by 𝓀a fractured left femur in a motocross training accident.
Acosta was soon up to speed upon his return in Austria (4th) and went on to win two more ဣrounds, at Aragon and then Valencia, to claim fifth overall in the world championship and top rookie.
Tipped as a future MotoGP star since his debut grand prix season, Acosta will remain at the KTM-backed Ajo team in Moto2 next꧂ year, when Fernandez moves up to the premier-class with Tech3 GASGAS and i🔯s replaced by Albert Arenas.
KTM’s private Jerez test follows on from Aprilia and Ducati taking to the൩ Spanish Grand Prix venue earlier this week.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 ༒years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is a𓄧t the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
