Just 1.4s shy of Jorge Martin and a debut MotoGP victory last Sunday in Mandalika, GASGAS Tech3 team manager Nicolas Goyon says that rookie 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta “is in a speciಌal form” headi𒉰ng into Motegi this weekend.

The Japanese circuit is characterised by heavying braking, a characteristic that traditionally suits the RC16 as well as Acosta, who was third in last year’s Ja♏panese Moto2 Grand Prix.

"We just had time to recover from our emotions and the ep🦩ic 2nd position from Pedro Acosta in Indonesia,” said Goyon.

“This last race of the first tripleheader is held at the iconic Motegi circuit, a very atypical layout known for its character stop-and-go, and one of the only circuits homologated for the bigg𓆉er brake disks available from Brembo.

“Stopping the bike here is a challenge for the body, 🗹as꧑ well as for the machine,  but it is one of the strong characteristics of our bike, which had good results in the past.

“Pedro Acosta is in a special form, I am sure he will find his way around this track quickly to keep his momentum, and we can’t wait to see him on track agaꦺin.”

Acosta, who survived a🐷 tyre pressure investigation before being officially confirmed as equalling his best MotoGP finish, has also regained fifth in the world championship from future tea💦m-mate Brad Binder.

"I think that Japan will be a good track for us, I was always compe𒉰titive in Motegi in Moto2, and our bike should work well on this track, looking at last season’s results,” Acosta said.

“We are feeling good and confident after a great result in Mandalika, so we will be looking to keep the momentum going, try to be competitive on Friday already, and then we wi💮ll see what our chances are.

“Looking forward to racing in f𒐪ront of the Japanese fans!"

While Acosta is lo🐲oking for momentum, team-mate Augusto Fernandez ꧑needs something of a reset.

"I am looking forward to Japan already because the last two races have been really bad for us, and I rea♋lly want to solve our problems, get back on the bike and get back the feeling,” said Fernandez, who was forced out of the Mandalika grand prix by a technical issue.

But the forecast wet weather could play into Fernandez’s hands this weeken𓆏d, having finished seventh in the soaking 2023 grand prix.

“I re𒁃ally like Motegi, I had great results in🌳 the past, including last year in MotoGP, so I can’t wait to meet our Japanese fans and race in Japan!" he said.

Fernandez is expected to join home Japanese manufacturer Yamaha as a test rider next s𝐆eason.
