Said Pedro Acosta that in Misano “the fastest did not win, but the smartest did” in reference to Marc Marquez. The man from Gresini took advantage of the first drops of rain to take the lead and even overtake Pecco Bagnaia for management.
And Marc responded to these words of Acosta: “I don’t know if the smartest one won, I don’t want that expression to be misinterpreted.”. Maybe yes, the smartest won but above all the most daring won…”.
“In the track conditions after the twenty crashes that occurred, it was necessary to value the issue because it was very, very easy to fall. Of course, when I got up in the morning, I thought, whatever happens, I’m going to take my chance,” said the third-placed MotoGP World Championship finisher behind Jorge Martin and Pecco.
“The most important thing is that By leading and having Pecco near me, I was able to withstand the pressuren, even do the fastest lap of the race, which gives you more confidence than victory,” he said.
Acosta’s words
Here are Acosta’s words after the race: “Márquez was not the fastest, but he was the smartest in the category.”
“It was a race of abandonments. Jorge Martín buried his options, and Bagnaia, seeing that he was not there, would think, in my opinion, that losing five points was not a catastrophe.. As I said, he was not the fastest but he was the smartest in the category,” said the KTM rider, who crashed and finished the test in last place.
