168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta has been tipped as a “future star of MotoGP”.

The only rookie in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2024 MotoGP rider line-up has joined Tech3 GASGAS alongsid😼e Augusto🍬 Fernandez.

Such was KTM’s𓄧 desperation to keep the prodigious t𝔍eenager within their grasp, they were forced into a late-season scramble to decide where to place him before deciding that Pol Espargaro would be the rider to miss out.

"I think that, without disparaging anyone, he looksꦜ something special, somꩵething different,” Marc Coma, managing director of KTM Spain, told .

“At th♛e level of riding, at the level of everything."

"Logically now it is an important leap.

“You can't 💫ask him to win the championship in the first year either, but yes, I think that he is one ofཧ the future stars of MotoGP, for sure."

Acosta is still just 19 years old but has already won the Moto3 ꧃and Moto2 championships.

As a highly-touted young Spaniard with accomplishments already in his back pocket, he has been likened to Marc Marquez who stormed into MotoGP in 2013 and w🌄on the title𒁃 as a rookie.

KTM are able to gi♛ve Acosta their promising bike although Ducati remain MotoGP’s dominant team.

But with a new concessions rule coming in (Ducati are unhappy that KTM and Aprilia ꦐstand to benefit), the Austrian manufacturer has bold plans.

"We are worki🔯ng in the right direction and the path chosen is not the e🦄asiest,” Coma said about their 2024 bike.

“With our engine, our suspensions... It is a completely KTM package🔴. I think things are being done very well.”

Coma was asked if KTM can eventually p🍸rove🎀 themselves as the premier class’ best bike. "Yes,” he answered.

“The bike this year has taken a very important step forward and we hope to continue𝔉 evolving in this direction.

🔜“Our bike is progressing well, the team is 🍃doing well.

“Now with Acosta's arrival it is also going t🐻o be interesting.

“We have Dani Pedrosa there in reserve 🌳who when he comes out puts almost everyone on their toes.

“I think the team is very good and still has ꦉa way to go."

ꩲComa believes Ducati’s key advant🌱age is having eight bikes, compared to KTM’s four.

"It is clear that eight Ducatis do not make it easy, because when one fail✃s, the🤡 other is there and this complicates it a little,” he said.

“The championship would be muc𒆙h more attractive if it were a little more equal.

“It is the on🌠ly downside that I could put to the current situation.”

Brad Binder and Jack Miller will remain as KTM’s factꦿory pair, with Acosta and Fernandez in the Tech3 GASGAS꧙ team.

Espargaro, after losing his full-time race sea꧒t to Acosta, could yet appear in wildc🌠ards.

And Pedrosa is still the test rider who, after shining in wildca🌼rd appearances last year, may feature again.
