Young Talent in MotoGP Moves to Ducati's Factory Team

Pedro Acosta has shown remarkable growth, winning titles in Moto3 and Moto2 in just three years since his world championship debut. In his 2024 MotoGP debut season, he was named Rookie of the Year, and in 2025, he achieved 4th place in the overall standings and a total of 13 podium finishes, demonstrating his skills in the premier class.

Acosta has previously engaged in fierce battles with Marc Marquez since his debut. From 2027, he will embark on a new challenge, wearing the same colors as his former rival Marquez and sharing the same garage as a teammate.
