MotoGP expert pinpoints ‘most amazing thing I’ve seen’ at Sepang test
"What he’s done at this test is the most amazing thing that I’ve seen at this test," Simon ꩵCrafar says about Pedro Acosta

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta’s brilliant performance at the MotoGP prese൩ason Sepang test has been highlighted by Simon Crafar.
The teenage phenom is the only rookie in MotoGP this year but is already touted as a future superstꦛar by many in the paddock.
The Tech3 GASGAS rider was second-fastest on the opening🎃 da🤡y in Sepang.
But even more impressively his sprint simulation was only one second slower than Aleix Espꦇargaro’s, who went six seconds faster than last year’s sprint race winning time.
Ex-racer and now broadcaster Simon Crafar said: “People will know, whenever we speak about Acosta, I have been playing it down because I don’t want anꦛy pressure on Pedro.
“I genuinely care♊. I don’t want him to get hurt. There is a lot to learn before you race a MotoGP bike.
“Then when you do race, there are all these buttons to control, maps, tyres wearin🍬g down, fuel, torque…
“To manage all this and to go fast, with all the crazy horse power and brakes and differen🉐t tyres?
“To go fast and not hurt yourself?
“That’s why I don’t want to put pressure on him.

“But what he’s done…
“I am trying not to build him up! To🅘 give him some time…
“But what he’s done at 🌳this test is the most amazing thing that I’ve seen at this tes💫t.
“Pedro looked from Day 1 like he rode last year.
“He does🌜n’t look like a rookie, he doesn’t talk like a rookie. The mechanics say he doesn’t work like a rookie.
“He gives them feedback maturely, good answers, clear♛ and accurate.
“He has absolutely blown me away.
“Then you look at his lap times? Wow, he’s unr♋eal!”
Acosta is still only 19 years old but enters the premier class as Moto2 cham𓆉pion.
He has drawn inevitable comparisons to M💛arc Marquez who was a highly-rated Moto2 champion who won the Mot🧸oGP title in his rookie year.
Acosta will be back in action on Monday at the Qatar preseason test before the seasoꦉn begins on March 8.
