Moto GP is experiencing a new golden era in 2024 and on Pedro Acosta the revolution has come. Although Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa and Marc Márquez were on the podium in their first MotoGP races, they did so from the best official teams at the moment while Acosta achieved it for his second time, from a independent team and a KTM that is only completing its eighth season as a factory MotoGP.
Being in the then best team in the world, Repsol Honda, allowed him to debut in 2013. Marc Márquez with four podiums in the first four races, the victory was with his second time (Austin). Five years before in 2008 the first three GGPP of Jorge Lorenzo They finished with three podiums and victory in third, only to be faced with reality in fourth (Shanghai) with a massive blow that has undermined their overconfidence ever since.
Once Acosta ‘burns’ on a KTM that barely moves and allows him to enter the curve, rely on the front axle to the end and close it with beautiful lines. If he is technically almost perfect, he also learns quickly. The blow that Martín took on Saturday in the Sprint at turn 11 for second place was returned with the same force by the young rookie in Sunday’s race to cover the podium. He is now the youngest driver in history to achieve two podiums in the premier class.
And we’re talking about a driver with just three seasons in the World Championship and three 2024 Grand Prix, who has already won two world titles for every category he’s crossed and hasn’t even turned 20 years old.
His statistics are already galactic: He has run 59 races and been on the podium 29 times: that is, almost half of the races he runs (49.15%) end on the podium. And 27.11% were winners -16-.
