An underachievi🐲ng Mot♛oGP rider has been identified.

Factory KTM talent 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta’s 2025 season has, so far, no💫t mirrore𝓀d his emphatic debut year in the premier class.

Acosta has struggled on a below-par KTM wh🐻ich has slipped down the pecking order while other manufacturers have improved.

“⛄He has underperformedꩲ from what we expected,” TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson analysed.

“If you think how he started last year, as a rookie on the KTM with no expectations, he was🌳 banging out the podiums.

“We agree Acosta is a super talent. I’m sure he is disapဣꦰpointed.

“He sits ninth in the championship. He’s had an 19th, an eighth, a crash, an eighth and a seventh [and P4 in Le Mans]⛦.

“By this point last year, he’d had [two] podiums.

“Maybe it is part to do with having arm pump. You♉ don’t𓃲 need to have a lot of arm pump to affect your feeling.

“You only need 25% arm pump and it takes away the feeling 🌄in your hand.

“Let’s hope weཧ can see Pedro get the ﷽results that we know he can.”

Pedro Acosta season-best result at French MotoGP

Acosta underwent arm pump surgery before the French MotoGP, so had 🃏been struggling with the 🍌issue at the prior round in Jerez.

Acosta responܫded positively in Le Mans post-surgery, narrowly missing out on a grand prix podium.

Gresin𓂃i♛’s Fermin Aldeguer passed Acosta in the final exchanges to snatch P3.

Fourth was Acosta’s best grand prix result of the season and edged him one place in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings to ninth.

Acosta’s inability to grasp the headlines so far this year is in con♔trast to Tech3 KTM stablemate Maverick Vinales.

K✤TM’s financial difficulties away from MotoGP have also put a dark cloud over Acosta’s season.

However, the 20-year-old’s attitude amid obviou✃s problems has been praise🐼d by team boss Aki Ajo.

Despite form which hides his true brilliance, Acosta♓ is constantly being linked with a move a🀅way from KTM for 2026.

His manager Albert Valera has warned that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:his job is to find the best bike for his prodigious client.

Vacancies at Honda a♐nd Ducati are sure to cause Acosta’s name to pop up, but he is still contracted to KTM until the end of next year.

After a season-best result at the French MotoGP, he will be hoping tꦜo display his true ability in the European leg of the season.
