Pedro Acosta admits the Spanish MotoGP at Jerez ‘wa♐s a learning weekend’.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta has been nothing short of sensational during his rookie MotoGP season so far.
Four rounds in and Acosta has claimed podiums in either the sprint or grand prix at every eve♔nt except the season-opener in Qatar.
Acosta, who took advantage of several riders crashing in front of h🐽im during the sprint on Saturday, had to force his way back through the field duri🥂ng the grand prix following early contact with Johann Zarco.
Acosta🍷 was sent wide by the LCR Honda rider, losing eight positions between that incident and the first corner where he also lost places.
“It was a learninꦑg weekend,” said the GASGAS Tech 3🔯 rider. “Everything before that was going too nice. We have to be happy.
“We made a good weekend and we know that we need to avoid these mistakes in qualifying and starti𓃲ng in the back.
“All the problems started from꧅ that. Also, we need to avoid things like cras🏅hing in warm-up.
“It’s not the best💧 way to de🍎stroy one MotoGP bike, but anyway, we are on the way.”
Prior to the grand prix, Acosta had to shake off a huge fall in warm-up 🔴at turn seve🎐n.
The Spaniard, along ཧwith his RC16 machine, was sent barrel-rolling into the air fence.
Following the race Acosta had one of his fingers on his right hand heavily taped, but that didn’t dampen hi🅘s confidence levels.
“About my confidence, everything was okay,” stated Acosta. “From the💛 mechanics, from Dani [Pedrosa], from Augusto [Fernandez], from Brad [Binder], from Jack [Miller] and everyone in KTM, to repair my bike is one-hour-and-a-half is not easy and they did everything they could to have two bike♛s ready. So proud of them.
“Talking about the race, the start was 💙tough and the clutch felt a little bit different and ꦏthen I was a bit slower.
“The disaster was turn one and not the start. ꦓThen, everything w♏as a bit difficult because Jerez is not the easiest track to overtake.
“Then, Zaꦅrco was ꧃maybe a little bit slower than I expected but it was difficult to pass him. But we recovered positions.
“It was a bad day but we were in the top ten and this was our target this sౠeason.”
