The Spanish rider Pedro Acosta from the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing is preparing to face a great opportunity at the Austria Grand Prix, hoping to claim his first victory in the MotoGP category. Acosta, who has been in good form recently, will have the support of his fans on a circuit that has historically suited his bike well.
Although the search for a victory has been a recurring theme during the season, the pressure multiplies at this event, as Acosta will leave KTM at the end of the season to join Ducati. This will be the last time he competes with his current team in Austria, his homeland.
Acosta arrives in Austria after showing good performance at circuits like Silverstone, Aragón, and Misano, where he battled with top riders like Aprilia and Ducati. The rider stated that the Red Bull Ring is his best chance to break his victory drought, considering the strong performance of KTM vehicles at this circuit.
His teammate, Pol Espargaro, expressed his hope that Acosta can achieve victory, stating that “if there is a place to win, it is here”. Espargaro’s comments highlighted Acosta’s great navigating ability, who has been a dominant force at KTM since joining the team.
Despite his good form, Acosta is aware that rivals like Ducati and Aprilia are at a higher level in terms of performance, and he admitted that a victory at home would be an ideal way to close a chapter with KTM.
“A victory here would be the best farewell,” Acosta said. “I have been here since I was 16 years old and know everyone. It would be a dream come true.”
