Pedro Acosta (Gas Gas RC 16), despite being a rookie in the category, placed third on the first day of French Grand Prix of MotoGP and highlighted that the day “went better than usual”.
“Today has been better than usualbecause today was the first Friday qualifying practice for Q2 of the four we had that I spent riding alone,” he admitted, and assured that “the pace was good.”
“Also we are a bit calmer“, the Jerez test helped us to focus, it’s a little more refined on the accelerator, the power on the tires is a little smoother, because they say it’s a little rough,” he explained.
Acosta made the ‘save’ of the day to avoid the drop and said he was convinced his team had “one of the best front units there is now in the championship and it gives these things.” “Also in turn 5 of Jerez, in the water, which is not the most common thing in the world, we did it,” he added.
“Little by little we are improving the things that are not favorable to our bikemaintaining those that are,” Acosta commented, and he admitted that he had vibrations on his motorcycle.
“Everyone is trying something for vibrations and this afternoon we will decide what the brand is doing in general or what path we will take with those vibrations, because here, like in America, at turn 13, here at turn 8, they are a bit , not exaggerated, but a lot, so let’s see if we can solve it in some way,” he explained about the work of KTM testers and teams.
