Acosta cree que KTM mostró su mejor rendimiento en el MotoGP de Le Mans.

Pedro Acosta believed that his GasGas KTM MotoGP motorcycle was the most competitive KTM bike of the entire season during the French Grand Prix. Unfortunately, his race came to an abrupt end after a crash on the second lap. Despite this setback, Acosta was the top-performing rider for KTM during the weekend, securing seventh place in qualifying. However, his hopes of catching Aleix Espargaro and Fabio Di Giannantonio were dashed when he fell at Turn 8, marking his first retirement in MotoGP. The other KTM riders also faced difficulties, with Jack Miller crashing later in the race. Brad Binder managed to finish in eighth place after starting from the back, while Augusto Fernandez secured 13th place in the second entry of GasGas. Despite these challenges, Acosta felt confident in his bike’s performance and believed the RC16 had potential for a strong finish in the race. He expressed satisfaction with the competitiveness of the bike and acknowledged the progress made during warm-up. Acosta’s retirement was the result of an overly ambitious attempt to overtake Di Giannantonio at Turn 8. Although he successfully passed the VR46 Ducati rider, he lost control of his bike and crashed, ending his race prematurely. Acosta explained that he tried to avoid colliding with Espargaro, who was in third place, but due to the front wheel of his bike locking up, he couldn’t stop in time. Despite the disappointment, Acosta made sure to avoid hitting Espargaro to prevent further interruptions in the race.
