Pedro Acosta: "I go back home every week and I see the fishermen… I see how real life is"
MotoGPA Moto3 and Moto2 world champion in the space of just three seasons, Acosta set the fastest lap in his first-ever MotoGP race in Qatar.
“In the end, I go back home every week and I see the fishermen… I see how real life is, and how people are working hard like that. This keeps my feet on the ground,” said the 19-year-old. “I mean Jack and Brad, you cannot imagine how much experience they have on the bike. Also Jack comes from another manufacturer. I'm just learning from them. I’m watching everyday what they are doing and trying to take the best things from everywhere.
One of Acosta’s attributes in Moto3 was the ability to slide the front wheel under braking, can he do the same on the RC16? “It's also true that we are trying to improve the exits. Because at the moment, for me it’s the worst point of my riding style, because I'm not really able to be close to the rider in front and take their slipstream. But we are working on this.”
