Augusto on Acosta: “We need to understand how he's riding that fast”
Augusto Fe𒉰rnandez: ‘We need to study how P🎃edro is riding this bike. [See] if I’m able to copy. He's riding amazingly and taking the maximum out of the bike.’
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta’s GASGAS Tech3 team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Augusto Fernandez isn’t afraid to admit he will be studying the teenager’s data to try🎀 and ‘understand how he’s riding that fast’.
Rookie Acosta has been the top KTM rider with podiums at the last two rounds and also led a MotoGP race for the first time at COTA.
The start of Fernandez’s second season in the premier-class has been far less favourable, with a♌ best so far of eleventh (Portimao).
“To💧ugh race,” Fernandez said after crossing the line 14th at COTA on Sunday. “But looking forward to being back in Europe, at Jerez, a track that I know how to go fast. [Where] maybe it's a little bit easier to understand how Pedro is riding this bike. Because he's riding amazingly and taking the maximum out of the bike.
“I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do in Jerez and if I'm able to copy and f💃ind out [how] to be closer at least.”
“I know I'm struggling,” Fernandez 💎added. “All the KTMs, we choose the soft rear tyre, just Pꦐedro with the medium. So that was a good choice by him!
“But he's understanding the class perfectly and especially the bike. He'🍌s riding with a lot of confidence and it’s what I saღid - I need maybe tracks that I know, to understand more how he's riding and if I'm able to copy some things.
“Jerez is a good track for me. We have the [Monday] test also to try things. If I have to put exactly꧃ his bike [settings] and try what he's doing, I will do it in the test.”
Asked to describe Acosta’s sty🍒le from what he’s seen on the data so far, Fernandez replied:
“For sure it's s𒁃omething different🦹, the way he's riding the bike… He has a lot of confidence in the front. And braking, he puts a lot of lean angle. He’s doing well.
“So, as I said, we need to study him a lot, also with how he's working with the body [because] he uses the bod༺y a lot. We have him in the box so we can copy!
“It won't change in one day, but let's see if we can make a𝕴 step in Jerez and be closer to him.”
Fernandez added that he would have no complaints if KTM gave Acosta preferential treatment in te🌟rms of new parts.
“Now, he's the best of the factory,” he said. “Look at [Sunday], he's 𓆉on t𓆏he podium and the next KTM is in 9th position.
"He's riding well. He𒆙 deserves the pieces, he deserves everything and we need to understand how he's riding ꦐthat fast.”
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story a𒁏nd Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
