Although Acosta was unable to keep the same pace asꦬ the leading riders around him, Acosta showed his immense talent and was only overtaken by Marquez when he made a mistake.
Speaking about Marquez and the battle they enjoyed, Acosta said: “⛄It’s quite nice because i🅷n the last couple of weeks they are showing this overtake and in my phone I saw many pictures from my first press conference in Jerez a long time ago.
“Also, in 2013 when he won his first🍒 world championship in MotoGP, I was in the Spanish champi💟onship federation and at the trophy gala I have a picture with him because this didn’t happen again for many years.
“But I’m so happy to share a track with him, so happy to learn and spend six or seven laps behind hi𓆏m in the race was completely awesome. A dream come true, for sure.”
Prior to the Portimao weekend getting underway, there was some speculatio🍰n that the young Spaniard might need to undergo surgery to fix an arm pump problem.
But Acosta, who was very quick again during FP1 in Portimao༺, admitted on Thursꦍday that his arm is fine.
“Everything is okay 🧸with the arm,” said the reigning Moto2 world champion. “If you look at the replays on lap 14 I was smoking the tyre.
“It was more than clear that I was going to suffer in the last parܫt of the rac💃e.
“Also, when I was riding in Moto2 with the Dunlops we did 24 laps wide op𝄹en and this [strategy] ca🦂me a bit from there.
“Anyway, it is what it is and we need to not make this mistake in the fut❀ure.”
