Pedro Acosta: KTM “in a dramatic situation” with 2025 MotoGP bike
Factory KTM rider crashed in Thai GP

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta says his ride after crashing early in the MotoGP Thai Grand Prix exposed a “dramatic situation” the KTM has with tyre preservation.
The 20-year-old looked strong comin🦂g int😼o the opening round of the season, but a podium charge never materialised.
After finishing a distant sixth in the sprint race, Aco♈sta was in the battle for another top six result in Sunday’s grand prix before he crashed at Turn 1 on🐲 lap four of 26.
Acosta rejoined to finish 19th, later explaining that his fal💫l was down to the rear of his bike unloading under braking.
“Well, we need to understand because i♔t looks like this year it’s much easier to unload the rear,” he said.
“And I unloaded the rear behind [Marco] Bezzecchi, I was a little bit wide, sliding too much and then ♐I ಞlost the front.
“Quite a normal crash but we need to un🐎derstand why 🔯it unloaded like this.
“We need to u🐽nderstand many things of how our bike ꦚis working because it’s something we are missing.”
When asked if this wasn’t simply the grippier rear pushing the front tyre,൲ he added: “They are both things together because 𒅌when you unload the rear, suddenly you slide, and when it comes back it pushes the front.
“It’s a combination of things, but I mean we need to understand becau🌊se there’s many things around that we are missing to understand.
“And why one thing is working, why the other thin🌜g is not, and then we can start to be competitive. Bu♍t we need to understand many things.”
Tyre wear problems exposed for KTM in Thai GP
After crashing, Acosta said he rejoined to use 🔯the remaining laps as a test, which revealed that KTM’s tyre wear problems from testing have persisted.
“For this reason I stayed in the race,” he said.
“The pace 𒁏was not bad at all, at the end I lost 40 seconds when I crashed and then they put me in seventh.
“It was more or less to be in the top five, so for this it’s tough to say. B♕ut at the end, it is wha𓆏t it is.
“I hope that they can ch♒eck something interesting in the data. It’s important to finisღh and see how the tyres were.
“We were in a dramatic situation, we need to understand why we have this degradation because🍌 it’sܫ not normal.”
Top KTM ho♑nꦐours went to Acosta’s team-mate Brad Binder, who was 19.9s off race winner Marc Marquez in eighth.
