KTM MotoGP difference to Ducati “becoming closer” - Pedro Acosta
Pedro Acos𓂃ta believes KTM is closing the gap to MotoGP championship leaders Ducati.

KTM MotoGP rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta says he feels t𓆉he Austrian marque’s gap to Ducati is decreasing at the beginning of the 2025 MotoGP sea🤡son.
Although Acosta feels that the RC16 still has room for improvement, he said he feels the gap to the leading Ducatis has become smaller since the beg🔥inning of the season, especially in race condꦇitions.
“For me, at the beginning of the season, the gap was much bigger, now it’s becoming closer,” the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider said on Thursday ahead ꦏof the Grand Prix of the United Kingdom.
“Still many things to work on because Ducati ❀is super-strong at the moment they🥃 release the brake.
“But it’s true that as the laps are passing a🐷nd the tyres are becoming used, we are able to be more or less closer, but at the beginning of the races we are losing a lot and in my case even more in qualifying.”
Even if the gap 📖is closing, though, Acosta is realistic about his targets for the coming races.
“First🌠 of all, we need to start to be consistently in the top-five a🌜nd then dream of the podium,” Acosta said.
“It was nಌot an easy start ꦛof the year for us or for any KTM but we are getting in the pace again.
“We need to try to be closer.”
Pedro Acosta: Silverstone “not an easy track for me”
For a rider who won two titles in his first three years in the World Championship, Acosta’s Silverstone record is relative𒁏ly underwhelmi✤ng, having scored only one podium in four visits.
The Spaniard acꩵknowledged that the layout of the British track is not one that is easy to get to grip🌠s with.
“It’s not an🦹 easy track for me, super-flow✤ing; trying to connect these corners in sector three is never easy,” Acosta said.
“It’s also true that I have not been coming for many years, but the years that I came it was n that go✃od like in other tracks.
“I really like the country, it’s one🤡 of these places that can surprise the wꦕeekend with the weather or somehow it’s somehow a special weekend. For this, somehow I like it.”
For this year’s event, Acosta was concerned by the weather, which could bring 𓄧rain this weekend, although the Spaniard was equally aware that KTM has things to improve on o𒉰ver the 2024 race in terms of tyre wear.
“Let’s see what’s going on,” Acosta said.
“It’s never easy to come to Silverstone and see the weather f🐈orecast quite tricky like it looks for this weekend.
“Last year was not bad at all, it’s true that we were struggling a ✨bit more in the race with the tyre life, but, to be honest, it was not a bad weekend at all.
“Let’s try to keep in the way that we ar♕e coming from Qatar, step-by-♚step we are getting closer. It’s true that there is still a way to go, but we are arriving where we want.”
