“I’ve been told…” Jorge Lorenzo shares story about Pedro Acosta’s excellence

Acosta, still only 19, won the Moto2 c🌳hജampionship at the weekend in Malaysia.
He will step into MಞotoGP with Tech3 GASGAS next season.
“Pedro Acosta is a tireless wo🐭rker, a perfectionist,” three-time premier class champion Lorenzo told .
“And when you 🌞combine talent with perfectionism and di𝕴scipline you become a beast.
“I've been told that he gets up at 5am in the morni🍌ng, goes t✱o the gym for two hours, and does his first motorcycle session for two to three hours.
“൩Eat and another double motorcycle session in the afternoon. He works all day.”
Acosta has previousꦡly detailed how an increased focus on his physical fitness has aided his care🐲er.
He will enter𒈔 the premier class with a Moto3 and a Moto2 title under his belt, with b🥀ig expectations and comparisons to a young Marc Marquez.
Lorenzo analysed 🍬him:൩ "Pedro Acosta is a very fine, very precise rider.
“He usually ꧟likes to angle the curves very quickly to enter tജhe apex very quickly, he turns the bike in a few metres and then puts the bike straight.
“It's riding, more like, ℱto be favourable in MotoGP, especially on a Ducati, you have to angle the curves.
"Drifting in Moto2 is not easy at all because they have very 💞little power compared to MotoGP. And no electronics. 𒁃;
“It is a very extreme riding style, getting off the bike a lot. Leaving your butt quite centred on the seat, but moving the entire upper part ofᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ thꦑe body towards the inside of the curve.
“A very extreme posture.
"Pedro Acosta in MotoGP will find a large motorcycle in dimensio📖ns, but perhaps it is the most compact motorcycle.
“Possibly, the MotoGP bike is a little taller compared to thဣe Moto2 bike, which will allow him to have kn💫ee [flexibility] a little more open.
“In the end it is a much more sophisticated motorcycle in terms of aerodynamics or electronics with doubꦚle the power and 50% more weight.”
Acosta w⛦ill hop o𒁃nto a MotoGP bike for the first time on November 28 at the postseason Valencia test.
