Factory KTM rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta says that, for the development of its own MotoGP project, the Austri𓃲an marque needs to aim for similar progress to what Yamah൩a has achieved between 2024 and 2025.

Yamaha scored no podium 🐼finishes in 2024, but in the beginning of the current se🍬ason it has been on the podium in Spain, and on pole in both Spain and France.

At this weekend’s British Grand Prix, Yamaha had three bikes in the top-10 on Friday – only the recently-returned Miguel Oliveira missing out on a direct Q2 spot – while noꦇ K🐬TMs made it.

“Well, to be honest, it’s quite sad that the four KTMs are out,” the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider said after Practice at Silverstone..

“It’s true that even Q2 today was really close, because ꦇnormally [the top-10 is covꩵered by] one second, but today was 0.5 seconds.

“ꩵI mean, you go [a l💯ittle bit] faster and you are there.

“It’s clear that the bike is not good enough, we 🐈need to make the step that Yamaha made because these guys are unbelievably fast now – every one, and Oliveira will be because these guys have talent like you can’t imagine but he’s taking his time.”

Aco෴sta said he wasn’t certain why the Yamaha was working so wel𓆏l at Silverstone, but suspected it was about corner speed.

“Normally a Yamaha always has this super-good turning, from ౠmany years ago,” he said.

“I don’t know beca﷽use I was not behind anyone, but something they are making good because Jack [Miller] was quite fast in Le Mans also, Fabio [Quartararo] made the pole position; today in dry we have three of these bikes in Q2.

“It’s not that they will winꦅ, but they are making a massive step compare🍨d to how they were struggling last year.”

Acosta added that he was frustrated by KTM’s performance on Friday because he felt💟 more comfortable🍎 than he had before at Silverstone.

“In my opinion, in my way of seeing things, it was the day in Silverstone that I was most competitive, because normally I struggle to💝 be competitive here,” he said.

“And it was not enoꦬ🔯ugh, that’s it – it was not enough.”

Acosta added that there was margin in KTM’s performance on Frid🤡ay but not enoguh that amounted to the their deficit to the top.

“It’s just that we are not good enough,” he said. “The bike was feeling fantastic – there were some things that we [could do] better, but it’s not this half-second tha💛t we are missing, it’s one tenth.

“Okay, this tenth would put us in Q2. But the reality ꧂is that the four KTMs are out of Q2 and you have three Yamahas, five Ducatꦍis, and two Hondas.

“This is the reality: we🤪 need to make a step, that’s it. The bike was good, the front feeling was fantastic compared to the beginning of the sea﷽son; things to improve in traction but not [a lot].

“The bike was worki🅷ng well, but just we were not fast enough or we were not good enough.”

He added: “I’m happy with the bike, ꦬbut it’s so hard to say I’m happy with the bike when I’m 11th, out of Q2, and 0.5 seconds slower than the fastest. It’s not logical.

“The reality is that the bike is working well, it’s muc♒h better than the beginningಞ of the season. In this track, somehow, it’s better than last year, but somehow the conditions or whatever is not helping us.”

Acosta confirmed that he is still🦹 on the 2024-spec RC16 having switched at Le Mans, but said he, Brad Binder, and Maverick Vinales are working in “one direction”.

“I am still [on the 2024 bike],” he said.

“We are focused in one direction, we a𓄧re in that one more or less all the riders – I don’t know Bastianini because I was not looking at him, to be honest. But we are not that far [from each other] here.”
