168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Factory KTM rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta says he “enjoyed a lot” riding his 2025 MotoGP bike in testing but remains reserved in his p🐓redictions about facing Ducati this season.

The 20-year-old comes into his second year in the premier class with expectations on his shouldersไ to win races and possibly even fight for the title, af🦄ter a strong rookie campaign in 2024.

Acosta ended pre-season testing strongly on the RC16, though where KTM fits into 🃏the pecking o꧑rder overall is still unknown after a mixed winter for the brand.

Finishing 395 points behind Ducati in the constructors’ champions𒊎hip last year, KTM appears to still be a step behind the Italian൲ manufacturer coming into 2025.

Asked how he rates KTM’s c🌠hances of being able to fight Ducati this year, Acosta cautiously replied: “We hope. At the end, racing is completely different to testing.

“At the end, here, you🐲 have to be ready maybe when you don’t want to be ready because on Friday we have PR [Practice] and then qualifying is only 15 minutes.

“At the end, in a test you do what you want in the time you ♏want. Racing is different, but we hope.”

He added: “[I’m] pumped to start the season. I enjoyed this winter a lot, I was enjoying it a ▨lot on the bike.

“It’s true that now everything sta♎rts from 🍨zero and we have to see what is going on.

“𝄹But super happy to be back racing with a lot of people and a lot of colours around.”

KTM appeared to struggle with excessive tyre wear during the Buriram test on long runs, which is something Acosta admits is 🍃still a concern.

“Well, it’s going to be a qu൩estion mark,” he said.

“Now it’s much 🧔hotter than the week that we came and it’s not going to be easy, but it was also not easy last year for this.

“So, we need to be ca♔lm and🦄 arrive and see how we have to manage the tyre.”

Mental work offers Pedro Acosta 2025 boost

Acos෴ta revealed on Thursday in Thailand that he has been working on his mental strength over the winter as he strives to find mor💙e consistency this season.

While Acosta’s speed was n💖ever in doub🌟t in 2024, he allowed many strong results to go begging through errors.

Asked how he felt with a year of experience coming into 2025, Acosta replied: “Muchꦍ more calm.

“Maybe not 𓄧many things changed this winter, but I was working a lot on my head, try🥀ing to calm the doubt that was inside.

“At the end, we see with [Jorge] Martin maybe he didn’t win many races [last year] but h♚e won the💫 championship.

“Don’t get me wrong, you need to be on the podium every week and winn𒀰in✤g races.

“But at the end, the consistenc🅘y is what gaജve him the championship.

“It’s theಌ thing we need t𒁃o look for, it was the thing that I was missing last year.

“Counting the season that 🐎I had last year, I counted like 15 [crashes], was too much, but we need to be calm.

“[There] was many people around, especially 💝oneꦐ who was really helping myself.

“Was reall🥀y my back during the winter and also during the pre-season testing.

“I was quite pumped to have this person around. He really helped me to be calm and to know how to use the head. I’m quiteꦇ happy about it.”

He refused to say who he had been working with.
