three years on the Grand Prix circuit, he clinched<br />
titles in lightweight and intermediate classes<br />
and impressed with podium finishes in his early<br />
MotoGP races. Reflecting on his evolution<br />
as a rider, Acosta shared, “I see how much I’ve<br />
changed since joining the Championship. The<br />
first year went well, the third even better, but the<br />
second was tough. I’ve learned and matured.”<br />
His MotoGP debut stirred considerable<br />
anticipation, and the excitement only grew<br />
after his captivating performance at the Qatar<br />

approach to racing, including a daring overtake<br />
of the legendary Marc Marquez. His subsequent<br />
podium finish at just 19 years old further solidified<br />
