168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta has revealed that he could have signed with Valentino Rossi’s VR46 team.

The negotiations were ♋for 2022, his first season in M🌟oto2.

🌼But, despite Acosta’൩s good rapport with Rossi himself, an agreement never materialised.

“We talked with 🅠him, with MarcVDS and with KTM about going to Moto2,” when Acosta was Moto3 champion, he remembered to .

“I remember that we were halfway through th✨e season,꧑ between Silverstone and Austria.

“I understood that the learningﷺ phase in Moto3 was over for me, out of ten races I had won five and achievജed quite a few podiums.”

But Acosta explained the difficulty of the negotiation: “I have my manager, a ꩲcontract with Alpinestarꦐs and one with Red Bull.

“It wasn't easy to make this change.

“We talked and VR46 had a good option for us, but it was difficult for the spo🧜nsors.

“It was still a wonderful thing to talk to them and know that they would have liked𒆙 to have me with them."

Instead, Acosta stuck with KTM and finished fifth in his first season in M🌠oto2. He became the champion last year, and is currently proving to be a thrilling addition to the premier class.

Intri𝐆guingly his personal relationship with Rossi has endured.

Acosta ha👍s twice taken part in the MotoGP legend’s annual race at his ranch.

“I did the 100km for two years, it's really nice to see how Valentino man💟aged everything and how he approaches the guys who go out for a ride,” he said.

“And then you train and he comes to talk toꩲ you, he asks you many things.

“After my first test for MotoGP we talked a lot about what it was like for me to ride that bike and he taught me a few things, about the ꦛMichelins for example...

“It's nice t💦o have s🦂uch a relationship with Valentino."

Next year, both Rossi💦’sꦍ VR46 team and Acosta are set for a boost in machinery.

VR46 are expected to benefit from the use of oܫne factory-spec Ducati, likely i🌌n the hands of Fabio di Giannantonio.

Acosta, meanwhile, will be promoted from Tech3 ಌinto KTM’s factoryꩵ team.

He has stunned onlookers this season as the so♒le rookie in MotoGP.

Although his form has dipped at recent rounds am﷽id questions over the KTM’s competitiveness, few dispute that Acosta will challenge for championships in the future.
