But Acosta himself was also very strong and believes he’s getting closer to🌃 the to💫p riders.
“There is still a way to go,” began Acosta💜. “Now I’m 0.6 behind [la💧ughs]. They know how to go fast. I don’t know if [Marc] Marquez was struggling yesterday or if he was just easing in a bit.
“But he was at the front today making really good lap times. These guys know how to be fast and they are not stuꦏpid.
“They know what thꦉey have to do, so it🦩’s not a surprise. But I’m quite happy.
“We are riding faste🔯r than the old lap record. They were fast also, but I’m happy🍷 because I still have a way to go.”
Acosta has continued to gain speed, both in terms of race pace🃏 and qualifying trim, throughout every day of testing at🔯 Sepang.
Filled with expectation due to his success in Moto3 and Moto2, Acosta is seen as one of the best talentꦉs t💙o enter MotoGP in a long time.
B꧟ut the Spaniard is letting pressure phase him: “Pressure is only a word. If you believe in that then you have that.
“I lived it for tꩲhe last three years, everyday I had pressure. This is now quite normal.
“But we cannot be focusing on the testing because Miller is 14, Marini 18th🍨, Rins 15th, Quartararo 11th, Bind🌜er 10th - these guys are going to be at the front in a race weekend.”
Speaking a bit more about the situation within KTM, Acosta still sees Brad Binder𒉰 as the rider to beat.
“Binde🦄r will be there! He was fast. He made some mistakes but I put myself second now.
“He wasꦓ fast and his pace was good. Yesterday he made 58.4s, for this he is number 1 still in KTM at the moment.”
