Now or never for Pedro Acosta to beat Marc Marquez’s youngest winner record.
Marquez took a first MotoGP victory in only his second race, at COTA in 2013, at the age of 20 years and 63 days.
Sachsenring is therefore his last opportunity, although the Tech3 KTM rider has always played it down as a ‘different era’. Acosta won last year’s German Moto2 Grand Prix but with no KTMs on the MotoGP podium for the past five grand prix races, since Acosta’s runner-up finish in COTA, victory will also require a significant step in form for the RC16.
“Sachsenring has a very different layout than Assen, and I think that it will be a good opportunity for us to bounce back,” he said. “It is the shortest track of the championship, left-hand sided, where you spend a lot of time on lean angles, and braking hard. Acosta would have had an additional chance to break Marquez’s record if the Kazakhstan round had not been postponed from June 14-16.
