Pedro Acosta has been making waves in the MotoGP class this season. Despite being a rookie, Acosta has already proven himself to be a talented and promising rider.
On the first day of the the Michelin Grand Prix de France, Acosta secured a neat third place, which allowed him to comfortably qualify for the Q2 session on Saturday.
In the Q2 session, he qualified seventh for both the Sprint race and the main race that would take place on Sunday.
During the Sprint race on Saturday afternoon, Acosta faced tough competition and finished in sixth place, more than ten seconds behind the leaders after thirteen laps.
However, he made a strong comeback during the ten-minute warm-up session on Sunday morning, recording the fastest lap time.
This was a significant boost for Acosta and his Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 Factory Racing crew, as they had managed to solve some problems with the bike.
Despite having a well-performing machine on Sunday, Acosta was unable to convert it into a resounding result.
While he managed to gain a few places in the first few laps, he encountered trouble in the third lap and crashed while in fifth place.
The Spaniard rider took responsibility for the crash, acknowledging that he was to blame.
This crash meant that Acosta was unable to score World Championship points in either the Sprint race or the main race for the first time this season.
It was a disappointing outcome, especially considering that he had a chance for another top result or even a race win.
Acosta’s performance in the MotoGP class has been impressive, with podium finishes in multiple races and a strong showing as a rookie.
While the French Grand Prix did not go as planned for him, Acosta’s talent and potential are undeniable, and he is expected to continue making an impact in the championship.
