The Shark finished the Thailand GP Practice with an excellent fourth position: a Friday that fully satisfies him both in terms of results and race pace.
Acosta’s words
“We know we’re missing a bit on the push lap, but as far as race pace is concerned, it went more or less well. We must be satisfied, it’s true that there’s still a long way to go to be as fast as Marco and also as the Ducatis, but we’re getting there,” this was the Spaniard’s comment to Sky Sport MotoGP. “We are slower than them, but I think we have made a step forward compared to 2025. Now we have to think about how to improve further.”

“We will certainly suffer in the second part of the race with the rear tire, but the situation seems better than last year. We don’t know Aprilia’s pace, but I think we can run at a podium-fighting pace.”
