The question that today we have transmitted to the readers of ACE on which rookie has more merit among the extraordinary shortlist of rookies in their respective categories that make up between Jorge Martín (MotoGP), Raúl Fernández (Moto2) and Pedro Acosta (Moto3), we have also transferred it to a Marc Márquez who has very clear your answer. The eight-time champion has once again publicly shown his admiration for Acosta from Murcia.
“For me, Pedro Acosta. Simply because I think Martín is doing very well but he is not the first to stand out in this way in MotoGP. Raúl Fernández is doing very well too, above average, but he’s not the first to do it in Moto2 either. And Pedro Acosta is the first to do so as a debutant in the World Cup “, has secured the Repsol Honda.
Already on his day in which he was the first in the morning, he suffered a fall in the afternoon and finished eighth in the combined of the day, the Cervera from ilerdense said: “I’m happy with the day. It is true that the fall has changed the plan a bit. The plan was to use the soft tire for race distance. And we have had to adapt. But the afternoon plan has changed but the weekend plan has not changed. “
When asked if his brother Álex bothered him and that is why he fell to the ground, he assures: “My brother has not hindered me. I was coming from behind. You come from a very long straight, plus the slipstream, plus the tailwind. I have resigned , but not enough and when I entered the dirty area I just fell down. ” Without further ado, but the dragging has angered him, because he had jumped and gestured like few times: “It has made me angry because it was a situation that I had controlled from the inside, I even thought of leaving a little long and then coming back. But I have not relaxed enough. At least we have not done anything.”
Regarding the line of work that he is trying to undertake for 2022, he states: “Luckily the chassis can be adapted during the season, and we are working with different chassis to understand different concepts, styles and from there decide which one to start with. project 2022. These chassis are prototypes and it is a constant evolution, but we want to find a starting chassis as in 2019, with which to continue developing throughout the year. I’m still not 100% fine to rule out a chassis from the outset. That is why we are doing so many tests, so as not to lose our way. “
What do they seek: “A bike that is easier, faster, that has more grip, that turns better. A bit of everything, but in general trying to find a versatile bike. What we look for every year. Many people say ‘it is a motorcycle for Márquez’, but in reality all Honda riders try to have a motorcycle that has more security in the front end, with more grip … but the letter to the Kings is one thing, but when you test it sometimes you go on the track and sometimes you don’t. “
