Pedro Acosta heads to the Indonesian MotoGP looking to redeem himself after narrowly missing a win in Lombok.
Most recent race
At the Japanese MotoGP on 4 October, the Spanish rider endured a difficult afternoon, finishing seventh behind Marc Márquez.
Acosta battled an unknown KTM issue under braking and in traction zones, lost a fight with Raúl Fernández, and still salvaged points on a day he called far from a disaster.
MotoGP ambitions
The Spaniard sits fourth in the 2026 MotoGP riders’ standings with 243 points,
Acosta is 90 behind championship leader Jorge Martín, having registered his maiden premier-class win, taken at the Austrian MotoGP in September.
Why Acosta could win the Indonesian MotoGP
The man nicknamed the Shark of Mazarrón showed strong pace at Mandalika last year and finished on the podium (second place).
With that experience, Acosta will look to go one step better, secure another win in 2026 and keep his ambitions of challenging for the MotoGP world championship alive.
Quotes
“Tough one…and it feels like we haven’t had a tough one in a while! It looks like we didn’t match the bike with the tires,” Acosta said after his seventh-place finish at the 2026 Japanese MotoGP.
“I don’t know why we struggled but I had difficulty stopping the bike and then also in the drive area, otherwise the bike was normal and good. Anyway. P7 is not a disaster. It was not our day…but I am happy to see another KTM bringing home a P4 and we can have some data to check.”
