Before the Sepang MotoGP test, I interviewed Pedro Acosta. On the outside, he looks like a skinny teenager. Once he talks, there's a veteran's wisdom. "An old head on young shoulders", as crew chief Paul Trevathan says.
Part 3 of my MotoGP season preview. KTM have made a huge step forward, and look like providing the strongest resistance to Ducati. Brad Binder could fight for the title, while Pedro Acosta is going to be a rookie sensation. Much to look forward to.
At Sepang, I spoke to crew chief Paul Trevathan about his new rider, Pedro Acosta. Trevathan was impressed by the 19-year-old's maturity and the incredible speed with which he learned. A superstar in the making.
For Subscribers, I ran the numbers on Pedro Acosta's first outing on a MotoGP bike at Valencia. How does it stack up against other rookies? Was it as good as Marc Marquez in 2012?
