Pedro𝓀 Acosta’s rookie MotoGP season was good enough to earn him a seat on the factory KTM team, but like any first-year the Spaniard found things to improve on for his second campaign in the premier class.

ღThe standout weekend for Acosta – for both good and bad – was the Japanese Grand Pr♕ix.

The two-t🍬ime World Champion was leading the Sprint when he crashed out, and then folded the front while chasing Francesco Bagnaia for the lead when he crashed out of the Grand Prix.

“Maybe the biggest mistake I don’t want to repeat [in 2025] is both crashes in Japan,” Acosta said during the recent KTM MotoGP team lꦜaunch.

“At the end, it was the GP that we were the mos🎃t prepared to make a good race, but it’s true that everything was about experience.”

Acosta added that part of his focus this winter has be🔜en to work on his qualifying performance, in addition to how he manages races.

“At the end, it’s true that I’m not expecting anything from these tests, it’s true that I was working a lot this winter on the things that were missing a bit,” he said✃.

“That was the qualify𝐆ing and also the management of some points of the races. On this side, I’m happy.

“It’s true that we need 𝔍to wait until we are there and we can see not only 🐎myself, also the competitors.

“Also maybe last year I wanted too much so fast, for this I was making a lot of mistakes also🌠 during not only the ra𓆏ces but also during the weekend, like crashing two or three times already on Friday.

“For this, it was not easy to build a strong weekend; f𒆙or this, maybe this is the biggest advance ꧋that I have this year.”
