The 2024 MotoGP rookie has proven to be a student of the game in♛ many ways, whether that’s showing calm൩ness under pressure despite fighting for Moto3 and Moto2 titles as a teenager, or managing the world’s media to perfection.

And speaking on the MotoGP podcast, Acosta aga🎀in showed maturity way beyond his years as he discussed the current situation in MotoGP.

• Jorge Martin felt ‘so ꧙superior’ in title fight, wanted to ‘humiliate opponents’ 
• Pol Espargaro: “The emotions I felt🦂 were a little bit too much”

Rivalri♈es, and heated rivalries at that have not been as present as previous years, lately. However, Acosta feel💃s that the sport needs to regain that edge between its riders. 

Acosta said: “Now we see that everyone is so friendly and has a good relationship with everybody, but people want to see battles like Pedrosa and Lorenzo, Marc and🌱 Rossi, Lorenzo with Marquez, Ro൩ssi with Biaggi, Rossi with Sete, people want this! 

“It♔’s like Verstappen when he is aggressive in F1, people want this.”

Acosta, who was very impressive during his first test aboard a KTM Mo🐎toGP bike at Valencia, will ride for the Tech 3 GASGAS team, meaning he leaves the Red Bull KTM Ajo team for the first time since joi꧂ning the grand prix paddock in 2021.

Speaking about his very ☂successful stint with the Ajo outfit, Acosta said: “It was a dream to come to the world championship as a factory KTM rider. 

“It was amaziꦚng to be in the Red Bull KTM Ajo team and in the end, I grew up with them. For this I was really pushing to have a fifth bike in MotoGP so that I could take all of my team to the MotoGP class.&💧nbsp;

“But so༺metimes life is not easy♋ for this and I understand. It was my ideal dream but it is what it is.”
