Jorge Lorenzo believes Pedro Acost🅷a will win a MotoGP race this ye♊ar.

The teenage rookie has stunned everyone in the paddock through the first two rounds of the 2🔜024 season.

Acosta has draw🌜n comparisons to a young Marc Marquez, who ⛦won the MotoGP title in his rookie campaign.

Two-time premier class champion Lorenzo has p𓄧inpointed the circuit where Acosta can take a🎉 massive next step towards fulfilling his huge potential.

“I see him a🌌s a winner in Jerez,” Lorenzo told .

“In the sprint or in the long race, I see him as a win🦹ner.

“[Elsewhere] it will rain or t🍌here 🐼will be mechanical failures or they will throw it.

“But if any race he can win, it is Jerez.

"He will arrive a little more prepared, the KTM GASGAS is doin🍷g very well on that track, last year they were very good.

“I think Jerez is a good opportunity.”

Acosta became the third-youngest podium finisher ever at th൩e Portuguese MotoGP.

"You're a phenomenon, we know that, but I'm going to give you homework," Lorenzo said in an interview wi🎃th Acosta afterwards.

Acosta replied: "Let's se꧑e, let's see, surprise me.”

Lorenzo told Acosta: “First of all, yo♈u make us enjoy it like children, you put on a show, both in Qatar and here.

“We ar🎀e tense, you make us te🐓nse all the time, with those overtakes and the reality is that you have made history, man. Enjoy it.

"I think you have tremendous potential.

“Let's see if you agree with me about those weak points that you have, or that I see thaꦐt you have.

“I t⭕hink that the start must be improved, you ಌwill agree with that.

“And then I see chatter from behind enteri𒀰ng the corner, which I assume will be from the KTM, or t♋he GASGAS, in this case.

"Then that corner entry,💜 that engine brake, I see that the rear [sliding] is a little exce꧒ssive under certain braking conditions.

“I don't know if you'll be with me?”

Acosta replied to Lorenzo: “It's true that maybe we had too much engine brake, especially on Turn 15 bec🥀ause I couldn't finish cl🍌osing it.

“We saw tha🍬t Bagnaia went much longer at the beginning and then closed it better.

"We have severa🐈l things to improve. Maybe the bike has become a little looser at the back and we have lost that contact at the back that is now more important with so much aerodynamics.

"On the other hand we have i𓄧mproved stability when exiting corners, but there is stillཧ room to do [more].

“We have to put our efforts especially with theꦇ electroni𒊎c part.

“Many of these vibrations are created ꧋by the electronics.”
