TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Legenda MotoGP Dani Pedrosa menilai tampilan pembalap muda yang merupakan rookie tahun ini, Pedro Acosta, telah melampaui ekspektasi besar yang dibebankan padanya pada debutnya di kelas balap premier musim ini.

“Saya ingin menekankan bahwa ada banyak ekspektasi terhadap Pedro, seberapa baik dia bisa melakukannya (debut di MotoGP), (mengingat) seberapa kuat dia saat berada di Moto2. Namun, ia bahkan telah melampaui ekspektasi tersebut,” kata Pedrosa, dikutip dari laman resmi MotoGP, Sabtu.

Debut Acosta, yang berlaga untuk Red Bull GASGAS Tech3, di MotoGP dinilai sangat baik oleh sang juara dunia tiga kali itu dengan hasil terakhir finis di posisi kedua pada balapan utama MotoGP Amerika di Circuit of the Americas (COTA) Austin, Texas, pekan lalu.

Di sisi lain, Acosta, pembalap yang baru berusia 20 tahun itu mengatakan tidak ingin cepat puas setelah gelar runner up yang ia raih di Texas.

“Kami masih harus banyak belajar, terutama di balapan (Sprint) pada Sabtu, yang kami manfaatkan untuk melihat bagaimana hasilnya di (balapan utama) Minggu,” ujar Acosta.

Sementara itu, Acosta dan Pedrosa akan berada dalam satu grid, saat kedua pembalap Spanyol itu bergabung pada rangkaian putaran keempat musim ini yakni Grand Prix Spanyol di Jerez pada 26-28 April.

Pedrosa yang memukau para penggemarnya dengan penampilannya di Jerez dan Misano pada 2023 akan kembali membalap tahun ini di Sirkuit de Jerez Angel Nieto dalam satu pekan ke depan.

Pedrosa finis di urutan keenam dalam Sprint dan ketujuh dalam balapan setahun lalu di Jerez, melewati garis finis hanya enam detik di belakang pemenang Grand Prix.

“Saya bersenang-senang di Jerez tahun lalu dan sambutan dari para penggemar sangat luar biasa. Kita semua tahu Jerez adalah tempat yang spesial,” kata Pedrosa.
