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 impressed 𓂃again on day-two of the Sepang test.

The GASGAS Tech 3 KTM rider finished just six tenths behind En🅘ea Bastianini, who set a new unofficial lap record.

Acosta’s pace over race distance has been getting stronger day after day, but𝓡 it’s also his time a🐈ttack runs which are starting to make waves too.

“It was not so bad,” said Acosta after Wednesday’s runn🦩ing. “We are happy because we are 0.5s faster than yesterday, 0.4s faster than the Shakedown. For this, we are coming.”

Altho💜ugh a two-time world champion thanks 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 b𒅌acked that up completely, however, the level in MotoGP is arguably better than ever.

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

“I was co🅺unting how many world champions are ahead of me and I could count six or sev💎en, so this is MotoGP,” added Acosta. 

“These guys have experience. They spend a lot of years in MotoGP 🐼but 🐎on the other hand 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 know📖 how to go fast.

“They know h༒ow 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 Shakedown test, Acosta has been faster every day that he’s taken to the Sepang circuit, but he knows that more i💎s needed in terms of race pace to become a challenger for big results.

Di♈scussing his race pace, Acosta s♔aid: “Better than yesterday. We are on the way. It is not enough at the moment but is it getting better.

“This is coming. Now we are faster over one lap and we are f🐎aster on the way to do the lap.

“We are faster with race pac♔e and understand the e🎀lectronics better.”
