While it’s only testing, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta’s smooth adaptation to MotoGP can’t be ignored as🗹 he impressed again on day-t🍃wo of the Sepang test.

The GASGAS Tech 3 KTM rider finished just six tenths behind Enea Bastianini, who set a new unofficial lap recorꦕd.

Acosta’s pace over race distance has been getting stronger day after day, but it’s also his time attack runs 💛which are starting to make waves too.

“It was not so bad,” said Acosta after Wednesday’s running. “We are happy because we are 0.5s faster th♓an yesterday, 0.4s faster than the Shakedown. For this, we are coming.”

Although a two-tim🐟e world champion thanks to his success in Moto3 and Moto2, Acosta arrived in MotoGP as one of the most impressive young riders the series has ever seen.

And his testing performances have backed💫 that up compl🐼etely, however, the level in MotoGP is arguably better than ever.

ꦦThe teenager admits that the riders around him have a lot more experience and that this will count for something as he continues to grow in the class.

“I was counting how many world champions are ahead of me and I could count six or seven, so this is MotoGP,” added Aco🐽sta. 

“These g﷽uys have experience. They spend a lot of years in MotoGP but o♏n the other hand they spent a lot of years in the world championship.

“Thi🎃s is only my third year coming to Malaysia. It is not so many. These guys know how to go fast.

“They know how to go fast, they are not a track day guy. They know how to do it for 𒁏the settings [of the bike].”

Much faster than the Shakꦯedown test, Acosta has been faster every day that he’s taken to the Sepang circuit, but he knows that more is needed in terms of race pace to become a challen🌠ger for big results.

Disꦜcussing his race pace, Acosta said: “Better than yesterday. We are on the way. It is not enough at the moment but is it getting better.

“This is coming. Now we are faster over one lap and we are ൩faster on the way to do the lap.

“We are faster with race pace and understaꦉnd the electr✅onics better.”
