ROOKIE BLUES

Pedro Acosta, the Moto3 prodigy making his debut season in MotoGP, is facing the harsh reality of the premier class. While the 20-year-old’s talent is undeniable, his frustration is growing with the lack of competitiveness of his KTM RC16 compared to the dominant Ducati GP24s. A string of disappointing results, culminating in a demoralizing 13th place finish at the Austrian Grand Prix, has pushed Acosta to express his discontent. He spoke of “enthusiasm” turning into “pain in my chest” after the Spielberg race.
