168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta looked anything but a rookie during MotoGP pre-seaꦑson testing, with the KTM rider especially strong in race trim.

A Moto3 world champion as a rookie and Moto2 champion in just his second se🗹ason, Acosta’s rise to MotoGP has been extremely quick. 

At times𝔉 feeling under pressure tღo perform, Acosta has looked very calm on a MotoGP bike.

And Marquez, who became MotoGP champion as a rookie in 2013, expects Acosta to join the fight at the front: “Pedro will be one of the guys this season🍌,” Marquez told MotoGP.com.

“He has everything to be a big name in MotoGP.”

Marquez wasn’t the only rider to heap praise on Acosta, wi🎀th Francesco Bagnaia and Aleix Espargaro doing the same.

“He will fight for the top ten, for sure,” added Bagnaia. “It’s t♈oo soon and he’s too young to put pressure on him. Let’s see him enjoy it.”

Espargaro said: “Obviously he will be 𒅌one to watch this season.”

Acosta responded to the praise but said waiting to underst🍎and their potential𓂃 is the first objective.

Acosta told MotoGP.com: “It’s always nice to listen to these things, but we have to wait to see the reality and wait 𝓡to see where we can be in a MotoGP weekend.

“The new format with the first QP on Friday, also with the qualifyin🔴g and sprint race on Saturday is going to be a question mark. Anyway, we will try to be ready.

“T🃏he last three years I have been living with pressure every day. Imagine a guy that’s 16 years old arriving at the factory KTM team to win🐬.

“It’s three years of his life focusing on just winning. For sure, there is pressure but I am managing better than my firs🌺t season in Moto3.

“In Moto2 I got a lot of꧋ pressure from myself an🐎d it was my fault for putting all this pressure on myself. But it’s better now and I just keep it down.”
