An up-and-down start to 2025 for KTM and Acosta:

The first five Grands Prix of the 2025 MotoGP season have seen Pedro Acosta have mixed fortunes. The Spaniard finished inside the points in three of the Sprint Races and three of the Grands Prix.

However, he sits tenth in the MotoGP World Championship on 33 points. Acosta's best results so far this season have been seventh places, which he secured in a Sprint Race and a Grand Prix.

Although he is the top KTM rider, he has not been able to produce the same level of results that he did in his rookie season.

During the first five race weekends of Acosta's MotoGP career, he stood on the podium three times, once in a Sprint Race and twice in Grands Prix.

The MotoGP rookie was also sixth in the standings with 73 points, 40 more than he has scored in his second year in the premier class.
