Pedro Acosta admits his main aim when following both factory KTM’s in Portimao was to overtake them as soon as possible.
Acosta, who convincingly got the better of Brad Binder and Jack Miller, once again overtook Marc Marquez before doing the same to reigning world champion Francesco Bagnaia.Discussing his ability to overtake others, Acosta said: “In the end, I was carrying speed and this situation is quite normal for me. Full tank and many laps; right now the sprint race is .
“In Qatar we saw that I struggled a lot in the end of the race. I was trying to copy Pecco’s movements on the bike because he is one of the best at saving the tyres on Sunday races. For this, I’m happy because I could learn many things behind him.” When posed the question of learning from both factory riders, Acosta said that was not his aim today.
