Episode Details

Pedro Acosta delivered a gutsy, tire-grinding performance at Aragon, finishing second behind Marc Marquez in a thrilling battle that showcased his raw determination and tactical patience. He pushed hard early, even daring a move on Bezzecchi, and held Marquez at bay for much of the race—knowing he couldn’t afford to burn out his tires too soon. Acosta’s ride was a masterclass in controlled aggression, maximizing his current abilities while hinting at a bright future. KTM’s ongoing tire management challenges remain, but Acosta’s evolving riding style is helping. He also acknowledged the grid penalty hurdle, focusing on what he can control rather than what the bike lacks. Though engine tweaks were approved for reliability, Acosta saw little immediate gain at Aragon—his eyes are already on the next tracks, where he’ll test if the improvements truly click.
