Pedro Acosta is already a talent and making an impact in MotoGP in his first season, with two podium finishes collected already is his⛄ first🦩 season, including second last time out in Austin.

With Dani Pedrosa in attendance in a wildcard with the KTM team Acosta wasted no time in slipping in behindಞ a legend of the s🌌port on track to hone his skills further.

The Red Bull Gas G🐠as Tech3 rider was Imprꦑessed with the technique ahead of him:

He is super clean, super clean - super smooth  - it’s unbelievable to ride beౠhind him and understand what he is doing , super happy 💧to spend some laps with him”.

• Marc Marquez: “Ducati adaptation is over… I'm dancing wi🍸th the top group”
• Rins, Quartararo "strugglin🌞g a lot, One thing making﷽ our life complicated”

When asked if he had enjoyed the opportunity to talk to Ped🎃rosa and debrief it seemed that was still to c🅠ome:

“Today I have a full schedule, I don’t have time, any, to talk with the team - for sure in♕ the afternoon to have a chat!”.

Pedrosa was not aware that Acosta planned to follow him on his 🔜way to sixth in the session and was immediately impressed with his rookie teammate for the weekend:

“I have no eyes in my back to know what he saw! But I think it’s good and we are💮 here trying to help the team.

“But as you can see - he🌺 is the only KTM &📖nbsp;in Q2 so I think he is doing a good, super job.

Pedrosa had m🍌ade himself known i⛦n practice in Jerez in 2023,where he topped the first session and went on to take sixth in the sprint and seventh in the Sunday race. 

A crash slowed his progress in🌠 the second pract🀅ice session this time around, leaving him 14th on Friday.

Brad Binder was all set to go top in the session befor♏e he too ended up in the gravel in the closing minutes, that saw the South African just miss out on automatic Q2 progression in eleventh.
