Pedro Acosta piles pressure on KTM: “I don’t accept and I’m not patient"
Pedro Acosta reflects on tough British Grand Prix
KTM rider Pedro Acosta says he will n🅺ot be “patient” through the brand’s current MotoGP struggles and says he will “not wait all my life to be a champion”.
The British Grand Prix proved to be a difficult weekend for the KTM brand, as none of its riders made it out of Q1 in qualifying, though 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta salvaged sixth in Sunday’s chaotic race.
Acosta made a fiery sta🎉tement o꧋n Saturday at Silverstone, backing KTM’s abilit♏y to build a good bike but urging it🌜 to provide solutions quicker now.
After Sunday’s grand prix, which he branded “a race of hopelessness”,🌺 Acosta says the KTM’s lack of rear gri𝐆p caused him too many problems.
“Well, not a strange race. It was a racಞe of hopelessness,” he said.
“It’s quite sad to see that you try to be perfect in acceleration and picking up [the bike] and [lean] angওles and try to be close [to others] and then lose everything in acceleration for the clear thing that we don’t have this amount of grip that🐽 the others bike have.
“But it is what it is and we have to keep going.”
if he now needs to accept the situation and learn patience, Acosta replied bluntly: “I don’t accept and I’m not patient. That’s it.“Opportunity passes one time in life. I will not take all of my life to be a champion in this championship. I need help from the factory. That’🌃s it.
“You are only young until you are not.
“Many stars in the championship grow so fast and disappear as fas🔜t🎀. Freddie Spencer.
“You remember? He won ✨two titles, then had something with his arm and then never came back the same.
“At the end, it’s not that it’s only myself. You see the four KTMs out 💮of Q2 this week and struggling a lot this weeke꧃nd. We need help from the factory.
“Now I’m talkiﷺng about the four riders - not only me.”
Acosta remains linked to a move away from KTM at the end of the season, but once again insists he still has another year on his current contract and “really believes in this proj📖ect”.
“But this ꦦweekend I talked🌠 quite seriously that I need help,” he said.
“I don’t want to com🐟e here with KTM and just burn fuel. I want tܫo compete.
“And today I was abꦦle to compete more or less, until one time when I was in the group of Marc [Marquez], Franco [Morbidelli], Jack [Miller] and Alex [Marquez] and I was not able to fight.
“This is the thing th𓆏at is burning my blood: to be so close and don’t catch it and not be able to do it, and it doesn’t matter what you do as it never arrives.”
