Pedro Acostathe Shark of Mazarrón, dominates in a notable way the first day of the Big prize from Portugal: “We’re working very well and we set a good time. It’s always positive to start the weekend like this.”
Very good physical preparation
It was confirmed yesterday in the first interviews prior to the start of the World Cup that the Murcian was arriving in very good shapeeven announced before the DAZN microphones that has lost five kilos to better adapt to the bike and the category. Without a doubt, he has trained hard this winter to win the Moto2 title this year.
“It was a very positive first day. I felt very good and without a doubt the test last weekend helped us a lot”. This is what Acosta affirms in his statements today. Making a final time of 1:42.391 the aptly named shark has eaten everyone on the track. We have even been able to see several scares, runway exits and a spectacular save “Made in Acosta”.
In DAZN he makes fun of the save: “To wake up the environments. Long time without World Cup”. He says in a mocking tone that the maneuver went wrong and he wanted to get off the track but when he wanted to retire from the track, the move didn’t go well either. Giving the show that surely he has made more than one get up from their chairs.
The weather conditions have not accompanied much to the improvement of the times in the intermediate category. Between the wind and the rain the first practice session has been complicated for the pilots: “It was important to adapt to the conditions as the wind was quite strong today.”
As we have all been able to witness today, Pedro is coming strong, he warned in the tests and he claims it today. Tomorrow we will have to keep an eye on him all the time because he will surely achieve a great result in qualifying: “Tomorrow we want to go one step further and get a great result in QP.”
