Pedro Acosta’s passionate tow rant: “You f*** laps for others; we need to stop”
“We are not stupid, we know where we dꦐisturb, and where we don’t"
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta let loose with🍃 an epic rant about the tow controversy on Saturday at Silverstone.
Pecco Bagnaia initially complained about the spate of riders seeking a tow througho💛ut qualifying at the British MotoGP, wh♎ich several others later echoed.
“I agree,” Acosta said to media includi♌ng wuqianꦚ0821.com at Silverstone.
“I understand we can wait in the pitlane. I can even understand that we🌼 wait on the out-lap.
“But, the worst thing for mꦬe, if for any reason your lap is f******, then🅰 you stop in the middle and f*** the laps for the other guys. This, for me, is not correct.
“We are not stupid, we know where we disturb, and where we don’t. It is many races already with this - I think we n𓄧eed to stop.
“I remember [a Moto3 rider] started from the pꩲitlane, he already lost five positions on the grid. We need to make a rule - when you start a lap, don’t✤ f*** the lap of the other guys.
“Now, it’s easy. You go out, you stop at Turn 6, and the problem is that ꦗyou don’t know what a g🌺uy will do. We go fast and if a guy stops in front…
“It means you go slower. What happened with Bastianini and Marc - I was be⛦hind - there was more asphalt. If your lap is f***** you can stop on one side, but on the track between the white lines.
“You cannot imagine how fast we arrive. Any movemeꦍnt from the other guy decides if you are faster or not.”
Acosta stopped short of accusing his rivals of spoiling their own laps to impact other😼 riders, saying: “I won’t say they f*** their own laps. But there is a race for everything.
“You know when Formula 1 [cars] put dirty air to other cars? This is the same. If ꦑyou f*** up the performance of the oth𒊎er guys, you are faster.
“I understand if you make a mistake, and one day you don’t realise. We are humans and we can make mistakes. But, when it becomes 💧something normal, it is dangerous. For this reason the Moto3 guys do this, the Moto2 guys do this…
“It is not for ou💦r safety. It is for the safety of the new guys, and the safety of the championship.
“Because if you are fast enough to win it doesn’t🎉 matter if you start first or fifth.
“🍌If this becomes a tradition at every weekend, it is heavy…”
Acosta describes racing without wing
Acosta qualifie🦹d ninth, then finished Saturday’s sprint race in fifth.
He clashed with fellow KTM rider Brad Binder, an incident which꧅ sent his wing spiralling into the air.
Acosta described riding without a wing for the remainder of the sprint: “Everything was not so bad. It was quite tough to manage for two laps until I understood how to ride the bike withouཧt the wing.
🤡“It 🔜meant I was losing time with Marc and Brad. But after, I recovered with Brad before Marc crashed.
“It was a good race, after all. The first that we started quite we♛ll. W🐭e made overtakes like at the beginning of the season. We were quite fast to be in the group with Marc. For this, we need to be happy.”
He described his wing-less KTM: “Lꦅike a plane witꩲh only one wing! It’s the same with a bike.
“The problem 🐎I had is that the whole bike wanted to go like this because only one wing was [putting] pressure on 😼the floor.
“The same, in the coꦑrners. On ꦗthe right corners it was easy to lose the front. Also, the wheelie.”
