A rider who knows all about immediate success as a rookie is tw൲o-time WorldSBK champion Alvaro Bautista.

The Ducati rider moved from MotoGP to WorldSBK🐭 in 2019 and fought for the title after winning 16 races - 11 in a row to begin the season.

Speaking to , Bautista was asked about Acosta’s rise and what to expect going forward, saying: “Let's see, we have to waitℱ. He will have to pick up the pace and the way of riding the MotoGP more.

“But if in the second race he reaches a level like that, wꦫhat he has is a lot of room for improvement.

“I don't know if he will conti🌳nue with his style and adapt the bike or he will adapt to what the others do. But he is new blood, he can create a new trend.

“And riders with character, with talent, with personality, are like that: they arrive and crꦆeate a trend.

“Valentino [Rossi] created a trend, [Jorge] Lorenzo another, Marc [Marquez] created another t🌺rend, now Acosta arrives and sets a trend. There is a before and after."

Bautista also touched on Marq🉐uez and how the eight-time world cham♍pion has adapted to Ducati machinery.

Marque𝔍z has been very impressive so f😼ar in 2024 and was a consistent podium threat in both Qatar and Portimao.

“I didn't doubt Marc,” said Bautista. 🌼“Because when a rider is good, but he has gone through dif🍃ficult times when he hasn't been comfortable with the bike, and they give him a bike that works and with which he feels comfortable, it's easy to take that step.

“But now comes the difficult part, which is taking 🥃the baby steps. 

“In Qatar I saw𒁏 him calmer than Marc is. Already in Portimao I saw him risking a little more, risking a little more, going more to the limit.

“But I think he's doing well. He no longer destroys himself,🌊 he already wins by a little bit.”
