Under-raider to monitor Motogp riders

The 2025 Motogp season has many hot-afflicted storylines, which are to keep tracks with new Ducati pairing Mark marks And Francaco gardeniaAnd current champion George martinUnfortunate start, Now sitting out of the first two rounds due to injuryAt the forefront.

But there are other people outside the top three of 2024 to look out, one important example is the crook-no-mark Pedro AcostaSpanish Rider wore several people with his debut Motogp campaign last year, with five podiums and sixth -ranked championships.

He is still claiming his first win, some errors are watching that opportunity last year. But TNT Sports MotogP presenter Suji Perry and Pandit Neil Hodgson believe that there is a subtlety to prove victorious in ACOSTA.

While Hodgson sees the title fight as a “two-horse race” between Markes and Bagania, he believes that the 20-year-old Acoste is “absolutely world champion material”.

Hodgson also thinks that ACosta will reach the top step in this season, saying to Autosport: “You saw what he achieved on a Motogp bike in his first year, which is always a big step for Big Class.

“So I have to believe that there is still a place to improve for him. It is not that this is its full boundary. ,

Perry also praised Ekosta and said: “I think it was an amazing year for Pedro, we saw what we can do on that bike. And yes, we saw a lot of mistakes, because she pushed the bike beyond the border. But this is your first year. ,

When it comes to winning his first, he said: “He has to keep all this together and get those results. If he gets the position of the pole, turn it into a race win, and this is clearly hopeful.

“Accosta is talented by madness, and he is perfectly worthy of being there.”

However, ACOSTA’s team KTM is struggling financially and Creditors have recently approved a banned planTherefore, as a result, the development of its bike will fall behind.

Perry said, “Whatever has happened to KTM, its race is yet to be seen to impress the team.” “I’m so happy that they are turning on the grid and we have received them, but I think it is really hurry to make any kind of prediction where they will be speed-wise and stability.

“You think they might be struggling with the race of space effectively of the 2025 season.”

Hodgson also said that Akosta’s character can help in his future success: “Not only he is an incredible rider, he is a great personality. He has to say something.

“I think they have so much ability to deal with big rivals with other people and call them out, and it really needs the game. Sometimes it can make it a little more interesting. If everyone is together, it can be a little boring.”

When asked to choose the story of a more surprise, Hodgson put forward Gracini Alex marksMark Market’s younger brother.

He said: “He won the Moto3 World Championship, he won the Moto2 World Championship. Both times he won those world titles – it took him some time. He was never a rider who jumped on the bike, brought him to the limit.

“This is what I am now watching in Motogp. In the pre-season test, it is as if all this has just started coming to him and it was very, very fast. ,

Alex Markez finished high in winter tests in Barcelona, ​​Sepang and Thailand – and ended the practice on the top of the early stages on top. This has assured Hodge that the results of young marks are promising.

He said, “The fastest man in the pre-season test looked like Mark, and I would say that perhaps Alex was the second fastest,” he said.

“Many people are probably not expecting Mark’s younger brother to be there in the mixture, but how good it would be to fight for both Marquez Motogp for the world title?

“The toughest is the two-wheeler championship, and you can go to two people from the same family.”

Perry’s choice was Yamaha Fabio Quartaro2021 champions and 2022 runs-ups have not won a race in two sessions, which kills his team’s underperformance with his M1 machine.

But with Yamaha showing strong showing in this winter, Perry can see a resurrection with quarters, especially inside the top 10 in the pre-seas,: “It may seem strange, but I think Yamahs has done a lot of work, he has injected a lot of money in his campaign. They got two teams this year, which will help them a lot.

“So I think it’s especially look out for the Fabio Quartero, I think it would be great to get his Mojo back, and it would really be great to bathe him in front and get podium again.”
