As soon as the podium ceremony ended at the end of the Moto3 race, with Pedro Acosta at best, as the winner of the Portimao 2 test and as the new world champion, with only 17 years and 166 days, AS had the opportunity to speak with the father of the new phenomenon and, holding back tears and with a broken voice, she said without stopping: “We are world champions !!!”
Before asking him anything, we hugged him, and then Pedro Acosta Sr. began to speak for himself: “Who was going to say to me that one day my son would be a world motorcycle champion? It is something to remember. For the history. It goes for all Spanish fans and for the whole of Spain “.
The meeting was in the pit lane, on the way to the box, and there he also passed Paco Marble, its inseparable Pacote, his coach, his henchman, his right and left hand. He was also very excited: “Right now the words are not coming to me. It has been incredible. You cannot imagine what we have suffered in the box. There was a time when he thought he had to give his father a pill. “ And about the race, he assures: “The race was like the one on the first day, to attack.” And his father adds: “Like a pureblood.”
Back with Acosta father, he says: “Until yesterday I was calm, normal, but I got nervous during the race.” And by asking them where the limit is, the father says that “time will tell”, and the mentor, that “here there are no limits.”
