KTM factory contract for super talent Pedro Acosta
Spanish motorcycle super talent Pedro Acosta signed a multi-year contract with KTM as a factory rider on Saturday. The Iberian, who is currently competing for points for the Tech3 satellite team, will be team-mate to South African Brad Binder next season.
"Riding in Orange is like coming home," Acosta was quoted as saying in a press release. The 20-year-old joined KTM in Moto3 last week in 2020.
Already two podium finishes this year
In his rookie MotoGP season, he has already achieved two podium finishes ahead of the current Grand Prix weekend in Mugello and goes into the Italian Grand Prix in sixth place - two positions ahead of Binder.
"Pedro's story is a special one," said KTM team manager Francesco Guidotti. "It will be interesting if we work even more closely with him." KTM Motorsport Director Pit Beirer noticed Acosta back in the Rookie Cup: "He is someone who does things differently. That makes him unique in the MotoGP world."
