Published: 3rd February 2024
MotoGP rookie Pedro Acosta continues to amaze on Sepang shakedown day 2. The Spaniard leads the pack after three days of intense testing.
Pedro Acosta is showing perhaps even sooner than expected that he might really live up to the hype as a premier-class rider – with a blisteringly fast MotoGP-spec debut at Sepang.
The Spaniard leads experienced riders like Pol Espargaro, Alex Rins or Johann Zarco, finishing the first three days of 2024 just a tenth behind the fastest KTM lap from October’s race weekend.
