Pedro Acosta winks at Valentino Rossi

Pedro Acosta is warming up his engines ahead of his MotoGp debut. The Moto2 World Championship leader in the coming season will race in the premier class with KTM, but in the past è he was also very close to Valentino Rossi’s VR46 team and it is not è said that in the near future the roads will cross again.

Pedro Acosta shares the philosophy with the Doctor, and it è was seen on the track at Mugello, when he celebrated his victory with a carton of pizza: "I wanted to do something fun, I è came up with the tower of Pisa, but I didn’t know what to do, I thought it would be easier to invent something with pizza, the typical Italian food. I think motorcycling needs someone like that, someone who will put on a show, someone who will push the fans to come to the races ", are the words to Motosprint.

Acosta to MotoSprint praised rival Tony Arbolino: "È a rider I’ve known for a long time, since we trained in Cartagena. We were about 12 and 16 years old respectively, we were with our parents. At that age, you get more relationships. When he came to the World Cup, and I was still small, the relationships cooled".

In Moto2 Acosta è grew up: "I gained kilos, I worked on nutrition and athletic preparation. Before I was very thin, and in Moto2 this affected me in the first few races".
