A rider who knows all about immediat𒊎e success as a rookie isไ two-time WorldSBK champion Alvaro Bautista.

The Ducati rider moved from MotoGP to WorldSBK in 2🌌019 and fought for the title after winning 16 races - 1ꦺ1 in a row to begin the season.

Speaking to , Bautista was asked about✤ Acosta’s rise and what to expect going forward, saying: “Let's see, we h🅺ave to wait. He will have to pick up the pace and the way of riding the MotoGP more.

“B💃ut if in the second race he reaches a level like that, what he has is a lot of room for improvement.

“I don't know if he will continue with his style and adapt the bike or he will adapt to wh✃at the others do. But he is new blood, he can create a new trend.

“And riders with character, with talent, with pe🦋rsonality, are like that: they arrive and create a trend.

“Valentino [Rossi] created a trend, [Jorge] Lorenzo aღnother, Marc [Marquez] created another trend, now Acosta arr♍ives and sets a trend. There is a before and after."

Bautista also touched on Marquez and how the eight-time worlꦍd champion haꦐs adapted to Ducati machinery.

Marquez has been very impressive so far in 2024 and was a consistent podium threat in both Qatar an𓆉d Portimao.

“I didn't doubt Marc,” said Bautista. “Because when a rider is good, but he has gone through difficult times when he hasn't🍸 been comfortable with the bike📖, and they give him a bike that works and with which he feels comfortable, it's easy to take that step.

“But now comes the difficult part, whꩲich is taking the baby steps. 

“In Qatar I saw him calmer than Marc is. Already in Portimao I saw him risking a li✱ttle more, risking a little more, going ꦡmore to the limit.

“But I think he's doing well. He no longer destroys himself, he already winꦜs by a little bit.”
