Pedro Acosta believes his experience riding 1000cc motorcycles at a young age helped him adapt quickly to MotoGP. Acosta started riding 1000cc bikes at 14, before making his Moto3 World Championship debut.
This early experience, he says, gave him an advantage when he stepped into MotoGP. Acosta has made an immediate impression in the premier class, standing on the podium in just his second and third grands prix.
The Red Bull KTM rider also revealed how close he came to walking away from motorcycle racing due to financial constraints before a last-minute application for the Red Bull Rookies Cup changed his future. Acosta is set to partner Marc Marquez at the factory Ducati team next season.
