Pedro Acosta ranks his debut MotoGP season with GasGas KTM a 4.5 out of 10 despite the rookie sensation having earned a 2025 promotion to the works team.

Acosta currently ranks sixth with 110 points and is the lead KTM rider in the standings, with nearest challenger Brad Binder two points behind.

The rookie earned his first Grand Prix podium in only his second race at Portimao with a third-place finish and went one better in Texas, as he made an instant impact into MotoGP’s premier class on the back of his 2023 Moto2 championship win.

Acosta hasn’t featured on the rostrum for a Sunday race since but has achieved Sprint podium successes in Jerez, Catalunya and Mugello.

More recently, Acosta has struggled due to GasGas KTM’s lack of bike improvements in recent races. The rookie himself also crashed out on his own accord in Le Mans’ main race and scored zero points all weekend in Assen.

Despite his success and immediate impact in the MotoGP paddock, the rookie Spaniard believes he “could have done much better”.

He said: “We have to look for an average, we have to be realistic, we could have done much better for sure, but also much worse.

“I screwed up, crashed at Le Mans, Barcelona and last week at Assen, I don’t know how many points I would have scored. “[At Sachsenring] it was a new [issue].

“If you multiply by three that’s a lot of points and I think Marc Marquez has 166 [56 more], that’s a lot of points we have lost. 

“Having grown up a little bit with the Austrian mentality that we are better than what we are doing, it makes me think that we can always go better. I’m not looking for excuses, I’m looking for the solution. 4.5/10.”

Marquez’s record of becoming the youngest rider to win in the premier class (20 years, 63 days) lives on as Acosta’s last chance of making history himself arrived at the most recent German Grand Prix.

Acosta disclosed this was only a positive as questions will now be deemed irrelevant.

“It’s better, so you [media] don’t give me any more of a hard time about it. You guys get a bit heavy with these issues,” he said.
