Tech3 GASGAS rider Acosta even🌊tually finished in P9 after tyre wear issues.

But his skill and maturity 🗹shone throughout his first round as a prem🅰ier class rider.

He added about his performance on Sunday: “At the pit stop I saw that Brad Binder and Jorge Mar🍒tin 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 likeღ Martin and Marquez who have a very different style.

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

“That’s why I tried to overtake espe♎cially in Turn 6 and 16, where it was more difficult.”

Acosta has ꦡlaid down a marker that he will upset many more experienced riders before his rookie campaign 𝔍is over.

He detailed the difference between his first-ever shortened Saturday race: “Overtaking was 🎉more difficult than 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 easi꧋er too.”
