Tech3 GASGAS rider Acosta eventually finished in P9 after tyre we👍ar issues.

But his skill and m🅘at💫urity shone throughout his first round as a premier class rider.

He added about his performanceꦯ on Sunday: “At the pit stop I saw that Brad Binder and Jorge Martin were increasing the pace, and I was behind them.

“That waꦇs important because, in the sprint, I was behind Alex, while [on Sunday] I was following riders like Martin and Marquez who have a very differen൩t style.

“That’s something that makes a difference when you꧒ ride on slower circuits. On that pace I felt better and I had more control.

“That’s why I tried to overtake especially in Turn 6 and 16, where🥀 it ไwas more difficult.”

Acosta has laid down a🔯 m♕arker that he will upset many more experienced riders before his rookie campaign is over.

He detailed the difference between his first-ever shortened Saturday race: “Overtaking was more difficult than I expe🌟cted in the sprint, where🎀 we all had a smaller tank and the bike was much more responsive.

“It was moving more and everyone was faster.

“[On Sunday] with more weight, the bike 🙈was more stable, and the tyres too.

I t🔜ook steps forward in terms of experience, and overtaking was easier too.ꦜ”
