But🌌 speaking to⛄ MotoGP.com, Acosta is keen to not put any added pressure on himself: “There’s no expectation. In the end, if you arrive with expectation then you have pressure and can make mistakes easily. 

“I𒉰f you don’t learn you don’t improve and if you don’t improve then you go home. It’s true that this change is a young kid growing up to be a man. I have a lot of th🧜ings to learn to be competitive.”

Acosta, who is still a teenager, has had the typ༺e of success a lot of riders much older than him are still with🎃out.

Speaking about his rise to MotoGP🗹, Acosta❀ feels he has become more calm as his experience has grown.

Acosta said: “It was a🉐 feeling that was quite familiar to me be🌜cause it’s something that doesn’t happen everyday but it’s something that happened to me twice in three years. 

“I was much more calm fighting for the champ♉ionship than in 2021 when I was a kid. I didn’t really realise what was happening and I enjoyed it more than in 2021.”
