Reigning double MotoGP champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia has hailed rookie 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta’s speed and ‘no fear’ approach during a spectacular 🔯start to the teenager's premier-class career.

“I think that first of all, he is impressing even more than I was expecting. Honestly. Because he's really, really strong,”ౠ said Bagnaia.

“He's not caring about anything, tyres... No fear. And fighting at ꦰthe top like this without any kind of [MotoGP] experienc🦩e is great. 

"So I just have to say a huge compliment to him. He is demonstrating that he and the KTM are a great co🐓mbo."

Bagnaia, winner of the opening grand prix in Qatar bꦦut off the podium since, returns to Europe having slipped to f🍌ifth in the world championship, one place behind Acosta.
