The young MotoGP rider, Pedro Acosta, has expressed that the opportunity to team up with the new world champion, Marc Márquez, would be a “dream come true.” Acosta, currently riding for the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team, is aiming for a promising future in the top category of motorcycling.
In a significant move, Acosta is set to join Ducati starting in 2027, a change that coincides with the new 850cc regulations. This move will see him replace Francesco Bagnaia, who has failed to perform at the expected level during the past season.
Although his agreement with Ducati was finalized before the season started, the lack of a commercial agreement between manufacturers has delayed the official announcement. In the meantime, Acosta continues to focus on his performances with KTM, a team that has supported him since his beginnings in the world of motorcycling.
Recently, during a pre-event to the United States Grand Prix, his idol Kevin Schwantz made a comment about the possibility of Acosta racing alongside Márquez, describing them as a “dream team.” In response, Acosta stated that he would be thrilled to share the track with such an experienced rider like Márquez.
Acosta has made a remarkable start to the 2026 season, currently sitting third in the championship and consistently competing with riders from Aprilia, Marco Bezzecchi, and Jorge Martín. His ability to challenge more experienced riders is a clear indication of his potential in the MotoGP world.
For his part, Márquez has praised Acosta, calling him one of the most “special” emerging talents of the new generation of riders. With a promising future and high expectations on the horizon, motorcycle fans are keen to see how Acosta’s career unfolds and whether his wish to race alongside Márquez will come true in the near future.
