As far as maiden grand prix victories go, it'll✃ be hard for anyone to top rookie Pedro Acosta's pit lane-to-P1 charge in the Do💯ha Moto3 race.

It's been followed by three more wins, for a total of five podiums from nine rounds and a worst result💞 of eighth place, despite missing qualifying at Assen due to a nasty practice accident.

🍸Such speed and consistency have also handed the Ajo KTM rider a big 48-point title lead over Sergio Garcia heading into 🌊the summer break, with next best Dennis Foggia 72 points adrift.

“For my debut season in the World Championship, it has been very positive,"꧂ said Acosta, with a fair degree of understatement.

"We have worked well in🐠 this first part of the year and both the team, and I are happy and satisfied with how things have turned out at th🌄e first nine races."

Looking to the second half of the sea𝔍son, the 17-ye💜ar-old insisted: "The goal is still to have fun.

"There have only been two races in which I set goals for myself, and they were Mugello [8th] and Montmelo [7th] - where I made several mistakes🔜 in the contest.

"That is why I want to continue to enjoy myself every time I go out on track, since 🧜that is how things work out best."

After being absent from the podium at Le Mans, Mugello and Catalunya, Acosta relished his return tౠo the top in Sachsenring and 18th to 4th ride while injured at Assen.

“For me, the races in the Netherl🐎ands and Germany have been the most positive in the first half of the year," he said. "We came into them off two rounds in which our feeling wasn't the best, but when I got to the Sachsenring I felt strong again - both in practice and in the race, which we ended up winning.

"At Assen we suffered a big crash in practice, but on Sunday we were at the front. I th✅ink that these last few Grands Prix before the summer break have been the ones in which wꦰe have worked the best."

If there has▨ been one area of weakness for Acosta it's qualify🐟ing, with only one front row start so far.

“If I had to change anything, it would be our way of approaching qualifying," said the Spaniard, winner of last year's Red Bull Rookies Cup. "At these last few rounds wꦉe have concentrated on doing our job, on find𓄧ing a good pace, and it has not gone badly for us.

"For this reason, for the second half of the year I would like𝓰 to continue with the work plan that we carried out at the last two races, in Germany a🐠nd the Netherlands."

Acosta, who plans to spend part of the summer break training with his team-mates in Barcelona, is tipped to rise to Moto2 next season with Aki Ajo's team. Ajo could h♛ave two Moto2 vacancies should rumours prove true that Raul Fernandez is joining♍ Remy Gardner at Tech3 KTM in MotoGP.
