168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta has been tipped as a “future star of MotoGP”.

The only rookie in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2024 MotoGP rider line-up has joine✃d Tech3 GASGAS alongside 🐼Augusto Fernandez.

Such was KTM’s desperation to keep the prodigious teenager within their gr🅺asp, they were forced into a late-season scramble to decide where to place him before deciding tha෴t Pol Espargaro would be the rider to miss out.

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

“At the l꧟evel 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 of the future stars of MotoGP, for sure."

Acosta is still j🍸ust 19 years old but has already wo♑n 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 won the title as a rookie.

KTM are able to give Acosta their promising bike although Du💝cati remain MotoGP’s dominant team.

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

"We are working in the right direction and the path chosen is not the e✱asiest,” Coma said about their 2024 bike.

“W♛ith our en🀅gine, our suspensions... It is a completely KTM package. I think things are being done very well.”

Coma was asked if KTM can eventually prove themselves as the premier class’ b𒆙est bike. "Yes,” he answered.

“T💃he bike this year has taken a very important step forward and we hope to continue evolving in this direction.

“Our bike is progressing wဣell, the team is doing well.

“Now with Acosta's arrival it ♊is also going to be interesting.

“We have Dani Pedrosa there in reserve w🌊ho when he comes out puts almost ev൲eryone on their toes.

“I think 🔥the team is ve💜ry good and still has a way to go."

Coma believes Du🔜cati’s key advantage is having eight bikes, compared to KTM’s four.

"It is clear that eight Ducatis do not make it easy, because when one fails, the other is therꦏe and this complicates it a little,” he said.

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

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

Bra𒀰d Binder and Jack🍌 Miller will remain as KTM’s factory pair, with Acosta and Fernandez in the Tech3 GASGAS team.

Espargaro, after losing his full-time race seat💞 to Acosta, could yet appear in 💖wildcards.

And Pedrosa is still the test rider who, after shining 💙in wildcard appearances last year, may feature again.
