The MotoGP rider Pedro Acosta aims to achieve his first victory in the upcoming edition of the Austria Grand Prix, which will take place at the Red Bull Ring circuit. After several standout performances in recent races, Acosta is seen as one of the favorite contenders by Pol Espargaro.
This Grand Prix holds particular significance as KTM is his home brand and Acosta will compete here for the last time with the team before joining Ducati next season. Following a series of solid performances on circuits like Silverstone, Aragon, and Misano, Acosta arrives in Austria with good expectations.
Espargaro states that the Red Bull Ring circuit suits the characteristics of the RC16 bike well, which could give Acosta a unique opportunity to break his bad luck. ‘I hope this weekend is the one for his victory. If there’s a place to win, it’s here,’ commented Espargaro.
Despite the confidence, Acosta is aware that the competition, especially from riders like those at Aprilia and Ducati, is intense. ‘We can’t think about victory at this moment. Ducati and Aprilia are a step ahead of us,’ Acosta declared, emphasizing that the circuit can be a great challenge.
A win in Austria would not only mean his first victory but also be a perfect adornment for his time with KTM. ‘It would be the best way to close a chapter. I have been with KTM since I was 16 years old. Knowing all those I’ve grown up with in this sport and closing this stage with a victory would be a dream come true,’ Acosta concluded.
