The detail of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta’s race craft has been likened to a prime Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez.

The MotoGP rookie has shone at the first thre💎e rounds of t🧜he season, twice finishing grands prix on the podium.

Jorge Lorenzo has predicted that Acosta will win at Jerez, the fourth൩ round next weekend.

But at the Circuit of the Americas he led a Mo🗹toGP🤪 race for the first time, after brilliantly tangling with Jorge Martin and Marquez.

“It is Valen🔴tino Rossi-esque. It is Marc Marquez-esque. In the best periods of their careers,” was Neil Hodgson’🍎s verdict on TNT Sports.

“That🎀 control, knowi🌠ng where the rider is behind you. 

“You k𒆙now that if you brake at a certain spot. You don’t mind if someone out-brakes you because they aren’t going to get their bike stopped.

“You time that cut-back, and we’re talking mill꧙imetres.

“If you get it wrong, you go down💃, because it’s your front wheel against their back wheel. 

“But he does it smoothly, consistently. Unreal!”

Hodgson said about Ac🎐osta’s ability to overtake: “That was very Kevin Schwant✨z! No hesitation.

“Instinctive, impressive, precise passes.

Michael Laverty add🧸ed: “He loves the battle, the scraps.

“He was three laps into leading his first MotoG﷽P race and he was trying to figure out how to control the pace, how to keep them behind.

“He has anꦓ otherworldly understanding of what’s going on behind.

“He didn’t know they were on softs, an𒉰d he was on the medium, but he felt it.

“That’s why he kept attacking. He’s gꦰot this sp🧔ecial ability to race.

“I haven’t witnessed a race craft like it.

“In his four years as a grand prix racer, he has bee♔n outstanding. I don’t think he’s ever be💮en out-foxed.”

Hodgson replied: “Imagine being Pedro, at 19 y💮ears old. At the next rouꦍnd, Dani Pedrosa has a wildcard.

“He’ll be able to race him. And learn from him.”

If MotoGP legend Lorenzo’s꧟ prediction is to believed, Acosta could find himself on the top step of the podium at Jerez.

Tech3 GASGAS' Herve ꦇPoncharal offered a stunned rꦅeaction in the Texas paddock to Acosta's brilliant ride.

"I have nothing💫 t🃏o say! I’m happy, we’re all over the moon," Poncharal said.

"There is no explanation. This is just m🐭agic. Enjoy the magic, enjoy the moment.

"This is why I say 1+1=2 but, in r🎐acing, 1+1 does not equ🥃al 2.

"This guy is from another planet, really.

"He makes us happy and proud."
