Tech3 GASGAS𓆉 riderඣ Acosta eventually finished in P9 after tyre wear issues.

But his skill and maturity shone throughout hiꦡs first round as a premier class rid𝐆er.

He added about his performance on Sunday: “At the pit stop I saw that Brad Binder and Jorge Ma🍸rtin were increasing the pace, and I was behind them.

“That was important because, in the sprint, I was behind Alex, while [on Sunday] I was following riders like Martin and Marquez who have a verꦚy different style.

“That’s♏ something that makes a difference when you ride on slower circuits. On that pace I felt better and I had more control.

“That’s why I t🙈ri♒ed to overtake especially in Turn 6 and 16, where it was more difficult.”

Acosta has laid down a marker that he will upset mꦗany more experienced riders ꦡbefore his rookie campaign is over.

He detailed the differe♓nce between his first-ever shortened Saturday race: “Overtaking was more difficult ಌthan I expected in the sprint, where we all had a smaller tank and the bike was much more responsive.

“It was moving more and everyone was faster.

“[On Sunday] with more weight, the bike was more stable, and the tyres too꧃.

I took 🐽steps forward in terms of experience, and overtaking was easier too.”
