The 2024 MotoGP rookie has proven to be a student of the game in many ways, whether that’s showing calmness under pressure despite fig🦂hting for Moto3 and Moto2 titles as a teenager, or managing the world’s media to perfection.

And spe꧙aking on the MotoGP podcast, Acosta again showed maturity way beyond his years as he discussed the current situation in MotoGP.

• Jorge Martin felt ‘so superior’ in title fight, wanted to ‘humiliate oppone🌺nts’ 
• Pol Espargaro: “T൲he emotions I felt were a little bit too much”

Rivalries, a๊nd heated rivalries at that have no🦄t been as present as previous years, lately. However, Acosta feels that the sport needs to regain that edge between its riders. 

Acosta said: “Now we see that everyone is 💞so friendly and has a good relationship with everybody, but peop🔜le want to see battles like Pedrosa and Lorenzo, Marc and Rossi, Lorenzo with Marquez, Rossi with Biaggi, Rossi with Sete, people want this! 

“It’𒐪s like Verstappen when🉐 he is aggressive in F1, people want this.”

Acosta, who was very impressive during his first test aboard a KTM MotoGP bike at Valencia, will ride for the Tech 3 GASGAS team, meaning he leaves the Red Bull 🐟KTM Ajo team for the first time since joining the grand prix paddock in 2021.

Speaking about his very successful stint with the Ajo outfit, Acosta said: “It was a dream to come to the world championship as a factory KTM rid๊er. 

“It was amazing to be in the Red Bull KTM Ajo team and in the end, I grew up🌟 with them. For this I was really pushing to have a fifth bike in MotoGP 𒉰so that I could take all of my team to the MotoGP class. 

“But sometimes life is not easy for this and I unders𝔍tand. It was my ideal dream but it is what it is.”
