168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta has revealed that he could have signed with Valentino Rossi’s VR46 team.

The🐠 negotiations were for 2022, his first season in M🎀oto2.

But, despite 🔯Acosta’s go♍od rapport with Rossi himself, an agreement never materialised.

“We talked with him, with MarcVDS and with K꧅TM about going t🔜o Moto2,” when Acosta was Moto3 champion, he remembered to .

“I🌼 remember that we were halfway through the season, between Silverstone an🎃d Austria.

“I understood that the learning phase in Moto3 was over for me, out of ten races I had won five and achieved quite a few podiu🐻ms.”

But Acosta explained the difficulty of t🍎he negotiation: “I have my manager, a contract with Alpinestars and one with Red Bull.

“It wasn't easy to make this change.

“We talked anඣd VR46 had a good option for us, but it was difficult for the sp🙈onsors.

“It waꦬs still a wonderful thing to talk to them and know that they woul🅰d have liked to have me with them."

Instead, Acosta stuck with KTM and finished fifth in his first season in Moto2. He became the champion last year, and is currently proving to be a thrilling addition ಞto the premier class.

Intriguingly his personal r🐠elationship with Rossi has endured.

Acosta h﷽as twice taken part i꧒n the MotoGP legend’s annual race at his ranch.

“I did the 100km for two years, it's really nice to see how Valentino managed everything and how he approach🐻es the guys who go out for a ride,” he said.

“And then you train and he comes to talk to y🀅ou, he asks you many things.

“After my fi🧜rst test for MotoGP we talked a lot about what it was like for me to ride that bike an🌠d he taught me a few things, about the Michelins for example...

“It's nice to have such a relationship ♌with Valentino."

Nex𒈔t year, both Rossi’s VR46 team and Acosta are set for a boost in machinery.

VR46 are expected to benefit from the use of one factory-spec Ducati, likely in the hands of Fabio di Giannant🦩onio.

Acosta, meanwhile, w♐ill be promoted from Tech3 in🔜to KTM’s factory team.

He has stunned onlookers this season as the 🎀sole ro🍎okie in MotoGP.

Althoug𝓀h his form has dipped at recent rounds amid questions over the KTM’s competitiveness, few dispute that Acosta will challenge for championships in the future.
