Pedro Acosta shares key similarities to MotoGP legends, Jorge Lo🥀renzo insists.

The Tech3 GASGAS rider haꦿs taken the premier class by storm in his rookie season.

His performances, full of brave♔ry and talent, in the early stages oꦯf this year have already been enough to earn him a promotion to KTM’s factory team in 2025.

Three-time MotoGP champion Lorenzo identified Acosta’s crucial trait to DAZN: “The preparation, the thousand🌠s and thousands of hours he has spent riding around on the motorcycle since he was little, and on big motorcycles.

“At his age, others haveꦜ half or three times fewer hours of training and preparation than him.

“Iꦛ would only give him one piece of advice: be careful with crashes, a serious injury could cut short a career.

“He has qualities from Casey St♈oner and Valentino Rossi, the charisma.

“And also𓆉 from Marc Ma🅺rquez, ambition and believing in himself."

Dani Pedrosa, now KTM’s test rider, added: "Every time he has changedꦓ categories, he has recognized that he was feeling more comfortable.

“He is used to working on very smal🌠l circuits with 🐼big bikes.

“Everyone at the factory is delighted with 🅷i꧋ts performance, it is something that KTM needed.

“Next year,🐎 🎃with more experience, he will reach the next level.

“In 🎶pre-season, the advice I gavܫe him is to be careful with the tyres, this can surprise you and you end up in the hospital.”

Acosta became the th♚ird-youngest r꧃ider to finish a MotoGP race on the podium this year.

He h🐼as established himself as KTM’s ℱfastest rider already.

The next mileꩵstone💜 for him will be a maiden win, which Lorenzo (incorrectly) predicted would happen at Jerez.

MotoGP returns next weekend atꦗ Silverstone but KTM have endured a difficult period where even Acosta’s results have dipped.
