Tech3 GASGAS rider Acosta eventually fini⛄shed in P9 after tyre wear issues.

But his skill and maturity shone througho🌱ut his first round as a premier class rider.

He added about his performance on Sunday: “At the pit stopꩵ I saw that Brad Binder and Jorge Martin were increasing the pace, and I was behind them.

“That was important because, in the sprint, I was behind Alex, while [on Sunday]🥃 I was following riders like Martin and Marquez who have a very differen๊t style.

“That’s somethingꦓ that makes a difference when you ride on slower circ✅uits. On that pace I felt better and I had more control.

“That’s why I t🦹ried to overtake especially in Turn🔴 6 and 16, where it was more difficult.”

Acosta has laid down a marker that he will upset many more experience🎃d riders before his rookie campaign is over.

He detailed the difference between his first-ever shortened Saturday race: “Overtaking was more difficult than I expected in the sprint, where we all had a small🌸er tank and the bike was much more responsive.

“It was moving more and everyone was faster.

“[On Sunday] with moreꦦ weight, the bike was more stable, and the tyres too.

I t🐻ook steps forward in terms of experience, and overtaking waಞs easier too.”
