While it’s only testing, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta’s smooth adaptation to MotoGP can’t be ignored as he impress🅘ed again on day-two of the Sepang test.

The GASGAS Tech 3 KTM rider finished just six tenths behind Enea Bastianini, who set a new unof🍸ficial lap record.

Acosta’s paꦏce over race distance has been getting stronger day after day, but it’s also his time attack runs which are starting to make waves too.

“It was not so bad,” said Acosta after Wednesday’s runnin♛g. “We are happy because we are 0.5s faster than yest🦹erday, 0.4s faster than the Shakedown. For this, we are coming.”

Although a two-time world champion thankജs to his success in Moto3 and Moto2, Acosta arrived in MotoGP as one of the most impressive young riders the series has ever seen.

And his testing performances have backed that up completely, however, the level in MotoGP is 𝓀arguably better than ever.

The teenager admits thaꦓt the riders around him have a lot more experience and that this will count for something as he continues to grow in the class.

“I was counting how many world champions are ahead of me and I could count six or seven, so this is MotoGP📖,” added Acosta. 

“These guys have experienc▨e. They spend a lot of years in MotoGP but on the other han♚d they spent a lot of years in the world championship.

“This is only my third year coming to Malaysia. It is not so many. These guys k♋now how to go fast.

“They know how to go fast🌊, they are not a track day guy. They know how to do it for the settings [of the bike].”

Much faster than the Shakedꦬown test, Acosta has been faster every day that he’s taken to the Sepang circuit, but he knows that more is needed in terms of race pace to become a challenger for big results.

Discussing his race pace, Acosta said: “Better than yesterday. We are on the way🥃. It is not enough at the moment but is it gettiꦜng better.

“This i🀅🌼s coming. Now we are faster over one lap and we are faster on the way to do the lap.

“We are faster wit💟h race pace and un🎶derstand the electronics better.”
