Pedro Acosta not relenting on KTM MotoGP expectations
Pedro Acosta keeps pressure on KTM to improve

Pedro Acosta’s patience with KTM remains♏ tested aheadౠ of the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix, as he believes “12 days” since the last round is “time enough” to have found something.
The 21-year-old noted after the British Grand Prix that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:he “does not accept” the competitive situation KTM is in right now and is “not patient”, as he urged the Austrian manufacturer to make gain⛄s quickly.
It came after what he described as a “race of hopelessness”ꦰ at Silve💖rstone, in which he came from 14th to sixth.
Ahead of this weekend’s Aragon Grand Prix, he is ninth in the standings on 58 poin🦄ts - 43 fewer than he’d managed at the same stage last season, having also scored five podiums.
An in-season test will take place on Monday after the Aragon round, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta’s expectations for a step with the RC16 high.
“Well, humans have made bigger things in lesꦫs time,” he replied when asked about the test.
“They’ve had 12 days tꦇo surprise me. Time enough.”
Acosta’s hard approach with KTM in the media comes as his future remains a point of discussion, amid rꦡumours of him leaving the brand in 2026.
This looks more unlikely now Jorge Maꩵrtin is looking to activa✤te a performance clause in his Aprilia contract to reportedly join Honda, w💜hich was previously a rumoured option for Acosta.
At Silverstone, Acosta insiste🌟d that he will be on a KTM next year while also stating that he still “believes” in the group.
Qualifying is “killing” KTM
Last year’s Aragon round proved to be a strong one for Acosta, who walked away from the event with a brac🦩e of podiums.
Whi🍸le he isn’t predicting a repeat, he believes the simౠilar layout nature of Aragon to Silverstone, where he was sixth despite it not suiting the bike, should make a top five result possible.
However, he says KTM must improve its qualifying form as it is “killing us” rig𝄹ht now.
“Well, also Silverstone was not my or not the bike’s best track and ꦉwe mana🉐ged quite ok,” he added.
“Let’s try to improve in the qualifyin🉐g and in the Friday afternoon’s, which is the thing that is killing us.
“It’s the most dramatic thing at the moment.
“I think the Silverstone race, for how not easy the track was for me and how not easy the tra♒ck was for the bike, we made a proper race.
“[Qualifying] was a disaster [at Silverstone].
“Every💛thing starts from Friday, because if you are in the Q2 the worst you can make is🥀 12th.
“Ok 12th is not good, but you are not 1𝔍4th or 17th, 18th, 19th. We need to improve💟 this area the most. Race pace is not bad at all.”

Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s🐈 injury issues.
