At 17,

Pedro Acosta

is the new Moto3 world champion.

Perhaps he did it early, as he needed a carom at the Algarve Grand Prix, the penultimate of the season.

The Murcian took the victory in a bumpy and fast-paced race in which his rival for the title,

Dennis Foggia

, suffered a fall.

The debutant took advantage of the first mathematical option of being champion despite the fact that he came out fourteenth.

The KTM rider came up little by little until he caught up with Foggia in the group.

Then, the South African

Darryn Binder

threw the Italian to the ground.

He was later disqualified for irresponsible driving.

Italians

Andrea Migno

(Honda) and

Niccolo Antonelli

(KTM) completed the podium at Portimao.

Acosta is the first rookie to win the World Cup since

Loris Capirossi

in 1990. He is also the

22nd Spanish world champion out of a total of 55 national titles.
