Rookie Pedro Acosta has made an impressive start to life in MotoGP with KTM, prompting many to ask if he needs to find his way onto a Ducati to win titles.
Pedro Acosta's world championship career has been meteoric. He made his debut in Moto3 in 2021 and won the title at his first attempt. He made the jump to Moto2 in 2022, and although he needed one season to get the hang of the category, he dominated in his second attempt in 2023, racking up seven wins and 14 podiums out of a possible 20. In 2024, with just three years in the paddock, Acosta is the only rookie in MotoGP this year.
Acosta has no plans to leave KTM in the short or medium term to look for a Ducati to ride, a move that everyone would probably understand, and which would be completely legitimate In 2022, his first experience in Moto2, Acosta signed a contract as a rider for the Mattighofen-based manufacturer, guaranteeing him a move to MotoGP in 2024 and a factory bike in 2025, as planned.
