Pedro Acosta He did not have a good Spanish MotoGP Grand Prix in Jerez. The Murcian knew that he was going to suffer on a track that is not one that suits him best. Furthermore, a touch from behind on Raúl Fernández caused him to face almost the entire race without the aerodynamics on the right front. The Shark of Mazarrón judged the moment of Marc Márquez or Marco Bezzecchi.
Summary and how you see all the bikes
“I had half a fairing less. These are things that can happen in races. We would have pushed a little further forward with the full fairing, but we wouldn’t have been on the podium, so we have to look for something in the test. I don’t think the bike was good enough four weeks ago to be on the podium or this weekend so bad to do what we have done. Clearly, the Ducati have returned to where they were, the Aprilia are still in front with the four bikes and we are suffering a little more. But what I’m saying, the bike is not bad enough to suffer as much as we suffered this weekend. We will have to find my riding skills to be more competitive in the future here in Jerez.”

What is it like to ride with half aerodynamics?
“It’s about, above all, understanding that the bike used more force on one side than the other. So depending on how the direction changes were or depending on the part of the circuit I was on, the bike moved much more or closed in front of me or didn’t make the turn at all. So I more or less had to make a living as best I could. Too many of us have finished tenth.”
Marc Márquez’s moment
“I speak based on the little experience that I have compared to his: many times, when you are used to riding your bike in a certain way and, for whatever reason, you have to ride differently, when you have to push it is even more complicated to focus on riding how you have to ride instead of how you get it. It is clear that since Indonesia last year there must be some problem, because it is not normal to see this in Marc. There has to be some reason behind it.”

This is how Bezzecchi sees the leader
“Maybe before we took advantage of the mistakes he made in the Sprint, like in the four we’ve had, but on Sunday the guy doesn’t fail. It’s what’s consolidating him as a clear candidate for the World Championship. If the rest of us want to do something, we have to get our act together.”
