Moving up from Moto2 as the reigning world champion, the teenage sensation needs to master not only the range of electronic options av💯ailable in MotoGP, bu🍎t also activation of the ride height device plus front and rear holeshot devices.

“It's true that I will keep a photo of the dash and also t𝓡he buttons, the levers and these things, just to look at over the winter, to remember and not f꧂orget, so I won't restart from zero again in Malaysia,” said Acosta.

Team-mate Augusto Fernandez, who mirrored the step from Moto2 champion to MotoGP with GASGAS Tech3 a year before, joked that Acosta was al🌟ready ahead of his own adaptioౠn since he had remembered to use the ride-height device out of the final corner.

🌌“I saw him using the rear device. I was not capable of doing that [in my debut test] last year! But I saw him using a lot,” Fernandez smiled.

“I think he had a great day. A ‘30.4𝓰 🍸lap is fast. So it’s as we knew…”

Acosta’s best time put hi💝m 18th on the timesheets, but only 1.2s from the top and🐻 within 0.4s of Fernandez.

As a rookie, Acosta will be eligible to take part in the upcoming Sepang Shakedown test from February 1-3 as well as the ✅official test on February 6-8.

And it will be a more muscular A♓costa that appears on track at the Malaysian Grand Prix venue.

“About the physical aspect, we need to improve. We know. I felt not so tired [at 🙈Valencia], I didn't have arm pump or any [muscle] pain.

“But everyone said [Valencia] is not the most physical track and you only have to see all th𒈔e MotoGP riders - their back, arms, shoulders and neck [muscles] are much bigger than mine.

“This is because they need it to ride the bike. And I think I'm also going to need it to be fast and compe🦄titive for 22 rounds and 44 race🍸s.”
