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 imp🧸ressed again on day-two of the Sepang test.

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

Acosta’s pace over race distance has been getting stronger day after day, but it’s🉐 also hi🏅s 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 faste𒐪r than yesterday, 0.4s faster than the Shakedown. For this, we are coming.”

Although a two-time world champion th🍬anks to his success in Moto3 and Moto2, Acosta arrived i♏n MotoGP as one of the most impressive young riders the series has ever seen.

And🌄 his testing performances have backed that up completely, however, the l🔯evel in MotoGP is arguably better than ever.

The 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 wor🐼ld champions are ahead of me and I could count six or seven, so this is MotoGP,” added Acosta. 

“These guys have experience. They spend a lot o🍨f years in MotoGP but on the other hand they spent a lot of years in the worl🅘d championship.

“This is only my third ye🧸ar coming to Malaysia. It is not s🎃o many. These guys know how to go fast.

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

Much faster than the Shakedown test, Acosta has been faster eve🍬ry day that he’s taken to the Sepang circuit, but he knows that more is needed in terms of r𝓀ace pace to become a challenger for big results.

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

“This is comi🅠ng. Now we are faster over on𒁃e lap and we are faster on the way to do the lap.

“We are fa🅠ster with race pace and understand the electronics b💧etter.”
