The 2025 MotoGP season just wasn't the best for rising superstar Pedro Acosta. In fact, it flat-out sucked for the young rider.
I was initially blown away by how Acosta could wrangle a motorcycle, as I saw a lot of the great racers in his style. He was, and is, fearless. But the 2025 KTM that he piloted, something that struggled for most, just didn't jive with how he rides.
As you'd expect with a top talent like Acosta, mid-year rumors began to fly around whether or not he'd leave for greener pastures. Add to the fact that KTM had suffered numerous self-inflicted financial woes, and the company's future within the sport continues to remain murky at best, and it's easy to see why Acosta would want to jump ship. He's also represented by Jorge Martin's manager, Albert Valera, who's a freakin' bulldog.
