Pedro Acosta Revolutionized the Motorcycle World Championship from day one. His emergence broke the mould. He was the first driver in history to reach the podium in the first four races. He later became the youngest Spaniard to win the World Cup. He is now the only man to win two World Cups in his first three years. What will happen next? Two national legends Marc Márquez And Jorge Lorenzo, these are obvious. Everyone believes that this will mark a new era, as has happened in the past with Mike Doohan, Valentino Rossi, Márquez and Lorenzo, among others.

“He’s one of those pilots: will mark an era MotoGP. There was Doohan, Rossi, Lorenzo, Stoner, then came me, Quartararo, Bagnaia… But for now, no one has won consecutive world championships,” said Marc Márquez, who was fed up with the poor performance in Malaysia. Honda decided to change the scene and race with Ducati in Team Team. He decided to sign Gresini: “I believe that Pedro Acosta will be one of the drivers participating in this race. will mark your time And will have its moment. No one is immortal in sports. I won’t put any labels on it because I always hated it, every pilot has their own era, every pilot has their own year and each has their own moment, no one is an ‘anti’ and it doesn’t add up either. No one, I have said many times, is eternal,” added the man from Cervera, who sees Mazarrón’s ‘El Tiburón’ as a double world champion, a rider who will aim for everything in the near future.

Valentino Rossi needed two years and Marc Márquez four years to win five titles. Three people were enough for Acosta.. He came very close to taking the record of being the youngest player to succeed in the intermediate category from Dani Pedrosa. Murcian achieved this in 19 years and 171 days; The Catalan did this at the age of 19 years and 18 days. The record he broke was the youngest winner of the Moto2 race organized by Marc Márquez.

Here’s the challenge he’ll face in his MotoGP debut in 2024 with KTM’s runner-up Gaz Gaz team: Fits motorcycles with a capacity of 1,000 cubic centimeters, a four-cylinder limit and a piston diameter of 81 millimeters They reach a maximum power of 250 horsepower. There will be no pressure, just a learning mission. But despite the lleo, many already consider the Murcian the youngest winner of a grand prix in the first category. Márquez achieved this in 20 years and 63 days, so the man from Mazarron ten races to get it.

“It was predetermined that he would become world champion“This already existed in Moto3 and Moto2, but it will also happen in MotoGP,” says Jorge Lorenzo, winner of five world championships and 68 grand prix and current DAZN commentator. But the Majorcan pilot goes further: “I think pilots like Pedro Acosta are born once or twice every 10 years. He really has it all. He has the talent, he has the talent.” disciplined, Worksis demanding oneself and he wins races as if it were up to him to eat or walk. “It’s something you see as normal,” he said on the television network that owns the World Cup rights.

acosta He will join MotoGP with KTMBut Lorenzo thinks his style is better suited to a Ducati: “He is a very good and precise rider. He likes to open the corners to get to the top very quickly. He turns the bike a few meters and then straightens it out. This is more of a pilot study where you have to open the corners for a Ducati.” .” he explained on DAZN.

Lorenzo also points out the main problems that Mazarrón will face at the start in the premier class: “You will find a motorcycle that is big in size, but it is perhaps the most compact. Probably MotoGP is a little longer compared to Moto2, whichIt will allow you to bend your knee a little more openly.. “The end result is a much more advanced motorcycle in terms of aerodynamics or electronics, twice as powerful and weighing 50% more,” he explained.

acosta Will test MotoGP for the first time at the Cheste circuit on Monday, November 27One day after the end of the World Championship, which still has two races remaining, this weekend in Qatar and Sunday the 26th in Valencia. ‘El Tiburón’s aim is to go away with two wins, but to do so he will have to beat another Murcian, Fermín Aldeguer, who is currently in top form and has won the last two major awards.
