168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta’s debut weekend in MotoGP got off to a very good start as he finished third in both Friday prac♍tices.

Acosta then secured eighth place in his first-ever MotoGP qualifying session, finishing just over 🐓three tenths down on Jorge Martin’s new lap record.

“A lot has been said already about Pedro, I am not going to repeat everything but, in a few words, to have🔯 such a young man entering MotoGP as a rookie and doing what he has done, he is very impressive,” Poncharal told MotoGP.com during Saturday’s final practice.

“We all remember Valencia on the Tuesday after the last race (Valencia Test) and how comfortable he was on the bike 𝄹and since then it has only been betterᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ.

“There were never any setbacks, and this is wha✤t we really like, every stint and every run was better than the previous one which rarely happens."

“I think he has got a special relationship with his motorcycle and understands how to extract the maximum of the bike, he has go𒀰t a mechanical feeling that some don’t have."

Poncharal has been known for giving young riders with a big pedigree 🅠in Moto2 chances, and while many of them have impressed such as Acosta’s current team-mate Augusto Fernandez, the French team owner believes Acosta is ‘different’.

Acosta has not looked like a MotoGP rookie in any way during pre-season testin🗹g or the opening round.

In fact, Acosta has been outperforming riders with much more experience, wiꦰth consistency.

Poncharal said: “As you know we have had many Moto2 ཧWorld Cꦬhampions and respect to all of them because they are all great riders, but I have to say if you asked me: he is special, he is different, he is better.”
