Acosta: “Ruthless environment, I race to win”
“I know I have a pretty particular mentality, but I’m not here to make friends with riders”, said Pedro with great confidence. “I race to win and have fun, I’m not interested in going to dinner with my opponents and, in fact, I only have a good relationship with Aleix Espargarò and Jorge Martin. On the other hand, we are all rivals and I was welcomed harshly, exactly as I would have done with a newcomer, also because when we compete we risk our lives and it is not easy to earn the right space in today’s MotoGP”.
“Motorcycling is an environment that, from this point of view, is ruthless. Being on the grid is a bit like being in an aquarium full of sharks where to gain the right respect you need to go as fast as possible. Just think about Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo or Max BiaggiThat they never loved each other on the track, but they were all great champions”, added the class of 2004, now a sure protagonist of the MotoGP in the coming years.
