• MotoGP Why do MotoGP race more and more?

    "I don't know how it will end, planes take off slower"

"I have not been a pilot nor have I ever wanted to be. I am a fisherman, I do not understand motorcycles and I cannot tell you how far it will go," acknowledged

Pedro Acosta

a few days ago in front of the port of Mazarrón, asked about the expectations generated by his son, of the same name, on his Moto3 debut.

In his first race in the World Cup, Acosta led the race, finished second and drew the attention of thousands of fans so much that Murcia television went to interview his father - but no one understood that this was just a warning.

A week later, this Sunday, in his second career as a professional, Acosta achieved a victory of those that underline a name.

For the first time in the history of the category, in a milestone not reached by a prodigy like

Marc Márquez

, he won from the pit lane.

Due to a sanction, Acosta started with a huge disadvantage and came to be 11 seconds behind the front group, but contacted with eight laps to go, took the lead at the ringing of the bell and held, held, held.

At just 16 years old, he proved that the future is his.

"Last week, although I finished second, I didn't grow much either, I wanted to try to get on the podium again and now I'm super happy," said Acosta, who inherited from his father the idolatry of

Kevin Schwantz

and

Casey Stoner,

that is, by different, peculiar pilots.

At the age of five, it was precisely his father who introduced him to motocross "to entertain himself", in 2018 he appeared in the Junior World Championship with skills, the following year he achieved a place in the Red Bull Rookies Cup and last 2020, the stardom.

He started that category with six consecutive victories, an unusual fact, and all the Moto3 World Cup teams raffled him off.

He ended up in one of the best, the Red Bull KTM Ajo, and from here to infinity.

That he be champion of the category, that he ascend to MotoGP, that he lives from this is very, very possible.

Although history calls for caution.

Only one driver made his World Cup debut with 45 points in his first two races: Romano Fenati.

And after 10 seasons in Moto3 and many comings and goings, there it is: this Sunday he finished tenth.
