Pedro Acosta says topping Sepang MotoGP Shakedown test ‘means zero’
The MotoGP rookie was fastest on the third and final ඣdayꦯ of the Shakedown test, but was quick to not read into it.

While several MotoGP stars such as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins, Joan Mir and more took part, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta was quickeღst as he continued to impress aboard tꦯhe RC16.
But Acosta was quick to play down his Shakedown result, saying: “It means absolutely zero. In the end, we were able to have a♚ good pace on u♔sed tyres which was good for me.

“In the second day we tried a long distance run and the pace was around [2m] 0s high, 0s 🔥medium, bu♕t on the last day it was [1m] 59 high, 59 medium.
“We improved in the race distance and this waꦗs an important are. The step we m⛦ade was quite solid.”
With only one day of experience on a MotoGP bike prior to arriving in Malaysia, Acosta still knewꦉ what the biggest🗹 areas to improve were.
“Was not so bad,” began the Spaniard after day three. “We did many laps and we came from the Valencia test with clear ideas on what🦂 ꧒to improve.
“It’s true that Valencia was alsoa short test. But we enjoyed it a lot and🀅 made a really good step.
“E🎃very day that we arrived at the circuit we were able to do the same lap time as the day before, on the first lap of the morning 💖which is normally not so easy for me.”
KTM are one of the manufacturers that have heavily developed their aero pack꧒age for the 2024 season.
Dani Pedrosa and Pol Espargaro tested a raft of new par🌸ts, but for Acosta, limited changed were made as he continued the process of learning a MotoGP bike.
“I have only ridden the bike with these aerodynamics,” said Acosta. “We d🦂idn’t change anything from🔜 Valencia to here.
“With these aerodynamics, the lines can be quite different during the riding. Also, I don’t see anyone do this corner bec♊ause in the Shakedown I was alone.
“In the run with Dani [Pedrosa] I understood a bit more and how to do turns t💞hree and fꦯour. The approach to the corner was quite different.”
