'We cannot wait to see a talent like [Acosta] express himself on such an atypical circuit like Portimao, where he won last season in Moto2'.
After an eye-catching MotoGP debut in Qatar, which peaked with a pass on Marc Marquez for fourth in the middle stages of the grand prix, GASGAS Tech3 “cannot wait” to see rookie Pedro Acosta “express himself “ at the undulating Portimao circuit this weekend.
The Sprint race saw the Spanish teenager rise from outside the top ten to eighth, before going on the attack in the full-length grand prix. Tenth after the opening lap, Acosta soon passed Aleix Espargaro and Fabio di Giannantonio, then both Marquez brothers, Alex and Marc. Round two in Portimao will be a very different challenge, not least because, unlike Qatar, there is no test session before the race weekend. But it’s a circuit Acosta likes, with victory in Moto2 last season as well as his rookie 2021 Moto3 campaign.
“That is to say, to have a good Friday and a good Saturday to get to the sprint and the race as well positioned as possible on the grid. I'm looking forward to riding the MotoGP bike at this circuit."“One week ago, we left Qatar after a dreamy opening round as we saw our rookie Pedro Acosta shining all weekend,” Goyon said.
