Pedro Acosta Reflects on Ducati Move and Challenges Ahead of 2027 MotoGP Switch
Pedro Acosta shares insights on why he delayed joining Ducati and his expectations for the 2027 MotoGP season.
According to Crash.net, Pedro Acosta, set to join the factory Ducati MotoGP team in 2027 alongside Marc Marquez, has revealed that he felt unprepared to compete on Ducati machinery this season due to frustration during his time with KTM.
Despite early talks about moving to Ducati's VR46 team in 2026, Acosta chose to complete his KTM contract and secured his first MotoGP win in Austria this year.
Acosta believes the timing of his Ducati opportunity aligns better with his readiness to challenge for the world championship and face off against Marquez as a teammate.
