Acosta, along with Marc Marquez who jumped aboard a Ducati for the first 😼time in his career, had eyes watchin💙g his every move during the Valencia test.

Just 1.2s off Maverick Vinales, Acosta finished the one-dayꩵ test in 18th and was very impressive throughout.

• Honda ‘not surprised’ to see Marcꦜ Marquez on top during Ducati debut 
• Gresini: Marc Marquez? “You can see🗹 the lap time…”

Acosta even got the chance to follow Vinales early on and did a very respectable job as he🌌 lost small amounts of tim🥂e during the lap. 

Taken aback after his opening run, Aꦆcosta came back to pit lan༒e was in awe of the speed of his machine.

Later talking to MotoGP.com, Acosta said♔: “Super happy. From the first photo in the morning at 9 until the crash at 5, Iꦡ mean I’m super happy. 

“I could see how a MotoGP bike works, how their bike works with the carbon discs, the tyres and𓄧 the fuel which is quite difficult to manage. 

“But super happy. I saw how many people from the factory arrived at my ꦏbox every time I 🦹finished a run, which was quite nice.”

Acosta’s only blemish was a small tip-off at turn two when he lost the front-end of his bike during the final hour of ru🅷nning.  

Asked to sum up the MotoGP bike, Acosta added: “This b🦄ike was fast! Was really fast. It’s true that we didn’t start with the [holeshot] device because we wanted to understand what a MotoGP bike is and what the transfer was likꦗe. 

“And then with the device it w🍷as a totally different bike. It started to go🌺 full power when I exited the final corner and then on the straights I was shaking. 

“It was a really good day and the team helpe🌳d me a lot to understand how to ride this bi🔥ke.”
