168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta has been tipped as a “future star of MotoGP”.

The only rookie in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2024 MotoGP rider line-up has joined Tech3 GASGAS alongs🌳ide Augusto Fernandez.

Such was KTM’s desperat☂ion to keep the prodigious teenager within their grasp, they were forced in🍨to a late-season scramble to decide where to place him before deciding that Pol Espargaro would be the rider to miss out.

"I think th🐼at, without disparaging anyone, he looks something special, something different,” Marc Coma, managing director of KTM Spain, told .

“At the level of ridi🐠ng, at the level of eve⛎rything."

"Logically now it is an important leap.

“You can't ask him to win the championship in the first year either, but yes, I think that he is one of the future stars of MotoGP, for sur🃏e."

Acosta is still just 19 years old b𓆉ut has already won the Moto3 and Moto2 championships.

As a highly-touted young Spaniard with accomplishments already in his back pocket, he has been likened to Marc Marquez who 🐼stormed into MotoGP in 2013 and won the title as a rookie.

KTM are able to🍌 give A🦂costa their promising bike although Ducati remain MotoGP’s dominant team.

But with a new concessions rule coming in (Ducati are unhappy that KTM and Aprili🐟a stand to 🦄benefit), the Austrian manufacturer has bold plans.

"We are working in the right ꧟direction and the path chosen is not the easiest,” Coma said a🦹bout their 2024 bike.

“With our engine, our suspensions... It is 🌸a completely KTM package🎃. I think things are being done very well.”

Coma was asked if KTM can eventually prove themselves as the pre🥃mier class’ best bike. "Yes,” he answered.

💯“The bike this year has taken a very important step forward and we hope to continue evolving in this direction.

“Our bike is progressing well, the team is d🙈oing well.

“No𒁃w with Acosta's arrival i🥀t is also going to be interesting.

“We have Dani Pedrosa there in reserve who when he comes out puts almost ൩everyone on their toes.

“I think the team is ver♈y good and still has a way to go."

Coma believes Ducati’s key advantage is🦂 having eight bikes, comಞpared to KTM’s four.

"I🍸t is clear that eight Ducatis do not make it easy, because when one fails, the other is there and this complicates it a little,” he said.

“The championship would be much more attractive if it were a little more🦩 equ🌱al.

“It is the only downside that I co🤡uld put to the curཧrent situation.”

Brad Binder and Jack Miller will remain as KTM’s factory pair, with Acosta and Fernandez in ꧟the Tech3 GA💧SGAS team.

Espargaro🎶, after losing his full-time race seat to Acosta, could yet appear in wildcards.

And Pedrosa is still the test rider who, after shining in wildcard a🥂ppearances last year, may feature again.
