Pedro Acosta: “We have small but important problems - I need to find 0.7s”
“We have five different set-ups. More or l𝔍ess, nobody uses 🌼the same."

Pedro Acosta insists he has “important problems” with his RC16, and explained that ea𝐆ch KTM rider uses different settings.
Rookie Acosta blew away rivals and pundꦿits alike with his blistering start to the MotoGP 🍎season.
H✤is form has tailed off heading into this weekend’s Indonesian MotoGP although he still sits sixth in the standings.
Only factory KTM rider Brad B༺inder (fifth) is a better-placed non-Ducati rider.
“I am quite happy with the bikeꦡ. I need to find 0.7s but the rest is fine,” Tech3 GASGAS rider Acosta saiꦯd in Mandalika.
He explained: “We have many small problems, but they 🥃are important problems.
“In this era of MotoGP, everythiওng is about detai🍰ls.
“If you resolve two or three, you will be much more✱ competitive. We found one.”
But, Acosta is not speakꦫing on behalf of every KTM ♋rider.
They each set up their bike🐻 differently, including Pol Espar♌garo for his wildcard, Acosta revealed, meaning fixing issues may become more complicated.
“I am thinking about 🎶myself,” he said. “We have fiꦡve different set-ups. More or less, nobody uses the same.
“I am focused on my problems.”
Acosta said about his development this year: “I understand the electronics better. It’s the most difficult thing w♊ith MotಌoGP.
“It h♛elps because now I am more💞 precise and can go to the point earlier.
🐷“Also, consistency. We have consistent pace in the top five.
“It doesn🐷’t matter if it’s P1, qualifying or the race - we are more or less at that pace, which is good.
“An important thing for a r⛄ookie is consistency. That the bike is always theꦛ same, you don’t make many changes.”
He remains positive about his chances♏ this year: “We have a balanced bike. For this reason, we can be fast in most situations.”
