168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta has been tipped as a “future star of MotoGP”.

The only rookie in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2024 MotoGP rider line-up has joine🌜d Tech3 GASGAS alongside Augusto Fernandez.

Such was KTM’s desperation to keep the prodigious teenager within their grasp, they were forced into a late-season scramble to decide where to pla♛ce him before deciding that Pol Espargaro would be the rider to miss out.

"I think that, without disparaging anyone, he looks something special, something🙈 different,” Marc Coma, managing director of KTM Spain, toldꦡ .

“At the level of riding,ꩲ a🤡t the level of everything."

"Logically now it is an important leap.

“You can't ask him to win the championship ♍in the first year either, but yes, I think that he is one of the𝄹 future stars of MotoGP, for sure."

Acosta is still just 19 years old but has already won the🍰 Moto3 and Moto2 championships.

As a highly-touted young Spaniard wi🍎th aܫccomplishments already in his back pocket, he has been likened to Marc Marquez who stormed into MotoGP in 2013 and won the title as a rookie.

KTM are able to give Acosta their promising bike althoug🐓h Ducati remain MotoGP’s 🏅dominant team.

But with a new concessions rule coming in (Ducati are unhappy that KTM and♉ Aprilia stand to benefit), the Au♌strian manufacturer has bold plans.

"We are working in the right direction and the path chosen is not the ea𒁃siest,” Coma said about their 2🍰024 bike.

“With our engine, our suspensions... It is a completely KTM package. I think things⛎ are being done very well.”

Coma was asked if KTM can eventually prove themselves as theღ premier class’ best bike. "Yes,” he answered.

“The𓆉 bike this year has taken a very important step forward and we hope to continue﷽ evolving in this direction.

“Our♊ bike is progressing well, the team is doing well.

“No♍w with Acosta's arrival it is also going to be interesting.

“We have Dani Pedrosa there in reserve who when he c💮omes out puts almost everyone on their toes.

“I th🅠ink the tea🌳m is very good and still has a way to go."

Coma believes Ducati’s key advantage i🐓s having eight bikes, comp🅠ared to KTM’s four.

"It is clear that eight Ducatis do not make it easy, because when one fails, the other is there and this complicates it a li🙈ttle,ℱ” he said.

“The championship would be mꦚuch more attract✃ive if it were a little more equal.

“It is the only downside that I could 𒐪put to the current situation.”

Brad Binder and Jack Miller will remain as KTM’s facౠtory pair, with Acᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚosta and Fernandez in the Tech3 GASGAS team.

E♈spargaro, after losing his f🌃ull-time race seat to Acosta, could yet appear in wildcards.

And Pedrosa is still the test rider w🐟ho, after shining in wildcard appearances last year, may feature again.
