KTM chief Morogp Rider Pedro Akosta has admitted that he needs to return his ride in qualifying after a promising Hungarian Grand Prix weekend Derail a violent accident,
While the KTM bike has taken one step ahead in the last two race weekends, Acosta is definitely guilty of over-riding in qualifying on both of them.
In Balton Park, he was the only person who, despite an accident on Friday, saw the possibility of challenging Mark Markes for the situation of the pole. But on Saturday, his explosion – which he set a ‘banker’ lap before he saw him in seventh position.
In turn, he was put in a major position to be caught in the first corner sprint race scuffle. He too later fell into the race and finished 17th.
On Sunday, however, he rode a clean first lap and reached fourth place. He worked in second place till the end – but wonder what can happen without furnace qualification.
But now pushing beyond the border that the poles and the promise of victory is real, something that knows that he should avoid going forward.
“Everything looked quite easy on Friday and then Saturday was actually a disaster, you know,” Acosta said. “Sometimes I need to try to cool slightly and save a common result. Because I think on this track, away from the front row was more disabled than merit (something else).
“(Weekend) was missing a little experience (from my side). As I said, on this Saturday (I should not have done) I created.
“(What is missing) My share is a little calm.”

Acosta said that he was pleased with the final result on Sunday, all things were considered.
“I mean, we have to be happy after mechanics after making two new bikes from these two accidents, which I was doing on Friday and Saturday,” he said, “but you can’t always believe that a return will save the weekend.
“Anyway, I think we have to be happy about our weekend and how KTM is improving every race.
“Aero updates that he brought to Austria (in the last race), helped a lot. Now the bike is more calm. Riding is a bit easy, and of course we have more space to make mistakes.
“Earlier the problem was that if you made a little mistake then you were already on the floor. We are getting better on it.”
While Acosta continued to spend his time on the ground in Hungary, it seems that the latest accidents have been a matter of very difficult pushing rather than the lack of response from the bike.
His first time to see what the bike can achieve with a slightly more cautious ride in qualifying will come in the Grand Prix in two weeks.
