Pedro Acosta was undoubtedly the revelation of the 2024 MotoGP season. Promoted in the queen category, after putting the hand on the title in Moto2, the rookie and protected of KTM was quick to stand out. During the inaugural round of the season, in Qatar, the Spaniard already showed that it was not cold in the eyes, fighting with Marc Marquez.
A champion whom he faced again a little later, in Austin (United States), where he won his first podium in the queen category, after only two races. One feat among others, which left KTM any other choice than to promote it within its official team for the 2025 season.

-Pedro Acosta at VR46, the ideal deal
They would have apparently mentioned the possible signature of Pedro Acosta in the stable of the Nonuple World Champion, Pertamina Enduro VR46. Nothing concrete for the moment, even if this signature appears to be an ideal option.
