Reigning MotoGP world champion Francesco Bagnaia says rookie Pedro Acosta “must be left alone” following his starring Friday at the Qatar Grand Prix.
The 19-year-old reigning Moto2 champion made his official MotoGP debut on Friday at the Losail International Circuit with the KTM-backed Tech3 GasGas squad. Leading both sessions at various stages, Acosta was third overall in the dry FP1 and third in the rain-hit second outing to cap off a first day that has generated more hype around the rookie.
” He added: “Not too much because I don’t crash too much this pre-season. “I need time. Now I’m in the moment that everything comes easy. Listen, a sentence that says ‘80% of the work, you make it with 20% of effort, and the other 20 you make with the 80% of effort’. “So, for this more or less we are there. Anyway, we need to keep working. We are working in the best possible way. It’s never easy to change the class or change the team, but we are on it.
