Pedro Acosta admits the Spanish MotoGP at Jerez ‘was a💞 learning weekend’.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta has been nothing short of sensational during his rookie MotoGP season so far.
Four rounds in and Acosta has claimed po𒆙diums in either the sprint or grand prix at every event except the season-꧋opener in Qatar.
Acosta, who took advantage of several riders crashing in front of him d🅺uring the sprint on Saturday, had to force his way back through the field during the grand prix following early contact with Johann ♈Zarco.
Acosta was sent wide by the LCR Honda rider, losing eight positions between that ♕incident 🐼and the first corner where he also lost places.
“It was a le🤡arning weekend,” said the GASGAS Tech 3 rider. “Everything before that was going too nice. We have to be happy.
𓃲“We made a good weekend and we know that we need to avoid these mistakes in qualifying and starting in the🍬 back.
“All th💛e problems sﷺtarted from that. Also, we need to avoid things like crashing in warm-up.
“It’s not the best way to destroy one MotoGP bike, but anyway, we are on theඣ way.”
Prior to the grand prix, Acosta had to shꦉake 𝐆off a huge fall in warm-up at turn seven.
The Spaniard,📖 along with his RC16 machine, was sent barrel-rollꦕing into the air fence.
Following the race Acosta had one of his fingers on his right hand heav💧ily taped, but that didn’t dampen his confiden𝓀ce levels.
“About my confidence, everything was okay,” stated Acosta. “From the mechanics, from 🏅Dani [Pedrosa], from Augusto [Fernandez], from Brad [Binder], from Jack [Miller] and everyone in KTM, to repair my bike is one-hour-and-a-half is not easy and they did ev🦩erything they could to have two bikes ready. So proud of them.
“Talking about the race, the start was tough and the clutch felt a🍸 little bit different and then I was a bit slower.
“The disaster was turn o🥂ne and not the start. Then, everything was a bit difficult because Jerez is not the easiest trꦫack to overtake.
“Then, Zarco was maybe a little bit slower than I expected but it was difficult to pass him. But we recov✤e𒊎red positions.
“It was a bad day but we were in the top ten and this was ouꦕr target tཧhis season.”
