Pedroಌ Acosta’s rookie MotoGP season was ꦫgood enough to earn him a seat on the factory KTM team, but like any first-year the Spaniard found things to improve on for his second campaign in the premier class.

The s✃tandout weekend for Acosta – for both good and bad – was the Japanese Grand P๊rix.

The two-time World Champion was leading the Sprint when he crashed out, and then fol🍒ded the front while chasing Francesco Bagna🌳ia for the lead when he crashed out of the Grand Prix.

“Maybe the biggest mistake I don’t want to repeat🔯 [in 2025] is both crashes in Japan,” Acosta said during the recent KTM MotoGP team launch.

“At the e💫nd, it was the GP t🦂hat we were the most prepared to make a good race, but it’s true that everything was about experience.”

Acosta added that par﷽t of his focus this winter has been to work on his qualifying performance, in addition to how he manages race🅷s.

“At the end, it’s true that I’m not ex♏pecting anything from these tests, it’s true that I was working a lot this winter on the things that were missing a bit,” he said.

“That was the qualifying𒁏 and also the management of som✨e points of the races. On this side, I’m happy.

“It’s true that we need to wait until we are there and🐻 we can see not only myself, also the competitors.

“Also maybe last year I wanted too much so fast, for this I was making a lot of mistakes also during not only the races but also during the weeken𝓰d, like crashing two or three times already on Friday.

“For th🤪is, it was not easy to build a strong♎ weekend; for this, maybe this is the biggest advance that I have this year.”
