Pedro Acosta shares key similarities toꦛ MotoGP legends, Jorge Lorenzo insists.

Th🌄e 🌱Tech3 GASGAS rider has taken the premier class by storm in his rookie season.

His performances, full of bravery and talent, in the early stages of this year have already been enough to earn him a promotion to KTM’s factory ꦦteam in 20༺25.

Three-time MotoGP champion Lorenzo identified Acosta’s crucial trait to DAZN: “The preparation, the thousands 🌊and thousands of hours he has spent riding ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚaround on the motorcycle since he was little, and on big motorcycles.

“At his age, others have half or three times fewer hours of trai♉ning and preparation than him.

“I would o🌼nly gi🐻ve him one piece of advice: be careful with crashes, a serious injury could cut short a career.

“He has qualities from Casey Stoner and💞 Valentino Rossi, the charisma.

“And also from Marc Maꦬrquez, ambition and believing in himself."

Dani Pedrosa, now KꩲTM’s test rider, added: "Every time he has changed categories, he ha♔s recognized that he was feeling more comfortable.

“He is used to working on v♕ery small ✤circuits with big bikes.

“Everyone at the factory is delighted with its performance, it is something that KTM neeꦚded.

“Ne✱xt year, with more ඣexperience, he will reach the next level.

“In pre-season, the advice I gave him✅ is to be careful with the tyres, this can surprise you and you end up in thඣe hospital.”

Acosta became the third-youn🔴gest rider to finish a MotoGP race on the podium this year.

He h💝as established himself as KTM’s 🎶fastest rider already.

The next miles🦩tone for him will be a maiden win, which Lorenzo (incorrectly) predicted would happen at Jerez.

MotoGP returns next weekend at Silverstone but KTM have endured a difficult period where even Acosta’s resulౠts have dipped.
