Pedro Acosta I had a dream morning on the circuit Motegi. The Murcian driver achieved his first “pole” in MotoGP and dominated the “sprint” with solvency a few laps from the end of the race.
Everything was too pretty for one Acosta it ended up just falling to the ground three laps from the endeliminating their chances of victory and putting first place on a platter for Bagnaia ‘Pecco’ who followed in second place.
The Moto2 champion lost control of his bike be seven years old and he left the circuit with his head down and with obvious signs of anger. The faces in the “GasGas” box said it all.
Despite this hard blow, Acosta will once again have the opportunity to aim for victory this Sunday in the race and will try to climb to the highest step of the podium in Japanese Grand Prix.
A great drama in the #TissotSprint ace @37_pedroacosta came out of the head in T7 😱
