Pedro Acosta insists he has “important problems” with his RC༒16, and explained that each KTM rider uses different settings.

Rookie Acosta blew away rivals and pundits alike with 𒐪his blistering start to the MotoGP season.

His form has tailed off heading into this weekend’s Indonesian MotoGP although he still si𝔉ts sixth in the standings.

Only factory KTM rider Brad 🔥Binder (fifth) is a better-placed non-𓂃Ducati rider.

“I am quite happy with the bike. I need to find 0.7s but the rest is fine,” Tech3 GASGAS rider Acosta said in Manda📖lika.

He expl༒ained: “We have many small problems, but they are important pr🎃oblems.

“I🌟n this era of MotoG💯P, everything is about details.

“If you resolve two or three, you will be much more �🌸�competitive. We found one.”

But, Acosta is not speaking on behalf of ever❀y KTM rider.

They each set up their bike differently, including Pol Espargaro for his wildcard, Acosta revealed🅷, meaning fixing issues may become more complicated.

“I am thinking about myself,” ꧋he said. “We have five different set-ups. More or less, nobody uses the same.

“I am focused on my problems.”

Acosta 𒐪said about his development this year: “I understand the electronics better. It’s the most diff✨icult thing with MotoGP.

“It helps because now I am more precise an♛d can go to the point earlღier.

“Also, consistꦗency. We have consistent pace in the top five.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s P1, qualifying or the race - weꦰ are more or less at that pace, which is good.

“An important thing for a rookie is consiꦜstency. That the bike is always the same, you don’t make many cha🐷nges.”

He remains positive about his chances this year: “We have a balanced 🧔bike. For this reason, we can be fast in most situations.”
