Pedro Acosta not relenting on KTM MotoGP expectations
Pedro Acosta keeps pressure on KTM to improve

Pedro Acosta’s patience with KTM remains tested ahead of the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix🐽, as he believes “12 days” since the last 🐼round is “time enough” to have found something.
The 21-year-old noted after the British Grand Prix that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:he “does not accept” the competitive situation KTM is in right now and is “not pati♋ent”, as he urged the Austrian manufacturer to make gains quickly.
Itﷺ came a🌳fter what he described as a “race of hopelessness” at Silverstone, in which he came from 14th to sixth.
Ahead of this weekend’s Aragon G⛎rand Prix, he i𒈔s ninth in the standings on 58 points - 43 fewer than he’d managed at the same stage last season, having also scored five podiums.
An in-season test will take place on Monday after the Aragon round, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta’s expectations for a step with the RC16 high.
“Well, humans have made bigger things in less time,” h😼e replied when asked about the test.
“They’ve had 12 d𒈔ays to surprise me. Time enough.”
Acosta’s hard approach with KTM in the media comes as his future remains a🉐 point of discussion, amid rumours of him leaving the brand in 2026.
This looks more unlikely now Jorge Martin is looking to activate a performance cla♒use in his Aprilia contract to reportedly join Honda, wh🔜ich was previously a rumoured option for Acosta.
At Silverstone,⛎ Acosta insisted that he will be on a KTM next year while also stating that he still “believes” in the group.
Qualifying is “killing” KTM
Last year’s Aragon round proved 🤡to be a strong one for Acosta, who walked away from the event with a br♒ace of podiums.
While he isn’t predict💞ing a repeat, he believes the similar layout nature of Aragon to Silverstone, where he was sixth despite it not suiting the bike, should make a top five res෴ult possible.
H🌞owever, he says KTM must i🉐mprove its qualifying form as it is “killing us” right now.
“Well, also Silverstone was not my or not the bike’s best track and we managed quite ok,” he ad💮ded.
“Let’s try to improve in the qualifying a𒊎nd in the Friday afternoon’s, which isꩲ the thing that is killing us.
“It’s the most dramatic thing at the moment.
“I think the Silverstone race, for how not easy the track was for ꦗme and how not easy the track was for the bike, we made a proper race.
“[Qualifying] was a disaster [at Silverstone].
“Everything starts from Friday, because if you are in the Q2 the worst✨ you can makeꩲ is 12th.
“Ok 12th is not good, but you are not🐟 14t🍌h or 17th, 18th, 19th. We need to improve this area the most. Race pace is not bad at all.”

Peter has been in the 💎paddock for⭕ 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
