One belongs to The Fantastic Four, the other is the next big star and the two this weekend in Jerez are called to work as a team even though they wear the two colors of the Pierer Mobility group, Red Bull KTM Factory Dani Pedrosa and Gas Gas Factory Tech3 Pedro Acosta.
“Having him in the Malaysian exam helped me a lot. It will be interesting to be with him this weekend because of his driving style. He was one of the few pilots capable of piloting it properly and accurately. It will help us a lot for the weekend and, above all, if I can be with him for a lap,” explained the man from Murcia, fourth in the World Championship, 26 points behind leader Martín.
“Jerez is a circuit I really like, but I will tell you tomorrow because it depends on how FP1 goes. FP1 was very important for us, especially the first round to see how I felt and how I could find the bike. For the technical team it will be easier because Pedrosa and Espargaró tested here, for me it is a bit more complicated. The work that Pedrosa and Espargaró are doing is reflected in how the bike behaves. Let’s see if it can be a favorable weekend for us. As Valentino Rossi said, the real World Cup starts in Jerez. Let’s see if we can get our head back and, little by little, raise the level,” explained Acosta about his first Spanish GP as a leading rider in the class.
Since the Sepang Shakedown Dani and Pedro have worked together and in private tests Pedrosa has been perfecting the bike for Acosta. Although he is learning at lightning speed, the Murcian commented that “I have a lot more to learn from Pedrosa than me. I ate with him today and every time he speaks it’s like he’s opening a history book. is one of the few Now he won 125cc and 250cc titles, he has internalized a lot in his mind that even one of us cannot understand Even if we are not talking about MotoGP, those concepts are very important to assimilate.
And he assures that the secret of his success is every Friday: “Every outing on the track and every lap is important for me, because the more time I spend on the track, the more time I have to learn. Friday is important because you remove the stress of saturday fighting for Q2 If you have to go through Q1, it helps me to do more laps the other one is so small, that you have to make a difference between first and second: The Friday is important for me I try to get to each circuit without expectations because if it goes wrong, it’s worse than hell.
And he speaks without a problem about what he lacks as a rider: “Prepare myself a little at the exit of the corners to help me be closer to the front bike to catch the slipstream, which costs me a little bit. I need to study things faster on the bike, to get to the box and give more accurate comments, especially about the electronics.”
