Pedro Acosta’s stunning overtake of Marc Marquez has prompted some comparisons.

At the Qatar MotoGP, which opened the 2024 season, the remarkable youngster stole the show by momentarily defeating Marquez.

Later on, the 19-year-old compared his exhilarating experience to…

According to Acosta, “It lasted just long enough,” GPOne reported. It’s similar to losing your virginity: everything seems to be going well at first, and then bad things happen!

The way things ended was perfect. I’m happy since my favorite part of the first race was passing so many people.

It involved more than just passing Marc.

“What I enjoyed the most was being there, having the pace, and overtaking people.”

After tire wear concerns, Tech3 GASGAS rider Acosta eventually finished in P9.

But during his debut as a world-class rider, his talent and maturity were evident.

“At the pit stop, I noticed that Brad Binder and Jorge Martin were increasing the pace, and I was behind them,” he said speaking about his performance on Sunday.

That was significant since, on Sunday, I was riding behind riders with a totally different style, like Martin and Marquez, while in the sprint, I was behind Alex.

It’s something that matters when riding on circuits with slower speeds. I felt more in control and felt better at that pace.

“I tried to overtake because of this, especially in Turns 6 and 16, where it was more challenging.”

Acosta has made it clear that, before his rookie campaign ends, he will shock a lot more seasoned riders.

“Overtaking was more difficult than I expected in the sprint, where we all had a smaller tank and the bike was much more responsive,” he said, describing the differences between his first-ever shorter Saturday race.

Everything was going faster and more quickly.

With additional weight, the bike and tires performed better on Sunday.

I gained more experience, and it was also simpler to pass me.
