Acosta's Feedback from Pit Beirer: Speed, Calmness, No Mistakes – Brilliant!
For KTM Factory Racing, the Hungarian Grand Prix (Plattensee) represented more than just a second victory for young rider Pedro Acosta. Over the past two races, these results helped to alleviate disappointment. Specifically, the Catalunya Grand Prix had required significant effort to address technical issues. Furthermore, the GP’s zero standings result also left a deep impression – this was effective due to Acosta’s completion of three laps ahead in the extraordinary dramatic Sunday race. Mugello presented a similar situation as well.
Post-Race Assessment
KTM Race Director Pit Beirer, following his sixth place finish at the Italian Grand Prix, stated, “I saw Pedro’s race at Mugello as one of his best performances of his career. While second on paper may not be enough to draw attention – the subsequent evaluations showed how powerful he was. To be sixth with a ‘stumpf weapon’ is quite impressive.”
Just a few days later, Pedro Acosta delivered an even stronger performance. In Round 8 of the World Championship, competing against Marc Marquez, the 22-year-old pilot ceded pole position to the world champion but aimed for victory in only these two Spanish riders. This was certainly not considered a disgrace, as Pit Beirer emphasized, that young rival Márquez had approached him twice within the final phase to reach third place by ten seconds.
“Pedro, in both races, battling Marc Márquez and those two pilots, if they can get third place 10 seconds ahead, it’s entirely respectable. This was another proof of how well Pedro is doing at this point.” he said.
Beirer, the race coordinator for the Munderfing section, added, “To understand how powerful Pedro is, you need to examine the entire weekend. He came out almost ready to go from the start. As with the last one, he entered Q2 safely and without mistakes. His placement of the bike on pole in qualifying sessions before the race significantly impacted the situation. If you’re already in the front row, you get different opportunities. Furthermore, with maximum speed and calmness, his battle with Marc Márquez continued for two races without making a mistake until the end – that was very strong.”
Beirer's final assessment: “Pedro ran the bike at full capacity for three days and achieved the best result possible from the situation. He also had the speed and ability to compete fairly in a challenging competition with Marc Márquez and to be second in the right moment. This shows a great unwillingness not to give up or discard the motorcycle.”
Pedro Acosta’s elegant and impressive performance at Balaton was noted as being less successful for the other three KTM riders. “PA37” (Acosta) moved closer to World Championship third place, while Bastianini was ninth after two long laps and Brad Binder tenth. Maverick Vinales had fallen to fifteenth.
Future Perspectives
Considering the situation in 2027, it is not a particularly exciting scenario for KTM. Because leading rider Pedro Acosta will be racing with the new 850cc era Ducati Lenovo team and Enea Bastianini will leave KTM. The future of experienced riders such as Binder and Vinales remains unclear.
