Pedro Acosta bold statement on  Jorge Martin 2024 MotoGP performance: ” he was super calm he deserves it not just…”

 

Pedro Acosta, the talented rookie rider for GasGas, has expressed his admiration for Jorge Martin’s impressive 2024 MotoGP season, stating that his fellow Spaniard “deserves” the title for his exceptional consistency and calm mentality throughout the year.

 

Speaking to Crash.net, Acosta highlighted the key qualities that set Martin apart in 2024, noting that although he may not have won as many races as the previous season, his improved approach to racing was crucial to his success. “He made a super big step compared to last season,” Acosta said. “Maybe he didn’t win races like before, but he was f king constant!”

 

The 2024 MotoGP season saw Martin finish with 10 wins across both Sprint and Sunday races. While that number was three fewer than his 2023 tally, the consistency

with which he collected podiums played a pivotal role in his championship success. Martin earned 80 more points than he did in 2023, showcasing how his refined approach to racing had paid off.

 

Despite a less aggressive race-winning strategy, Martin’s consistency allowed him to finish the season with 16 podiums, securing the 2024 MotoGP World Championship by a mere 10 points ahead of his nearest rival, Francesco Bagnaia. This solid performance was a testament to Martin’s newfound mental strength.

 

Acosta, a rising star in his own right, acknowledged the mental shift that set Martin apart. “He was super calm. He was not making mistakes, not losing time,” he remarked. “He really deserved it.”

 

In his comments, Acosta also humorously admitted that Martin’s consistency in avoiding errors was something he himself struggled with in his rookie year. “The consistency that I lost, he gained!” Acosta joked, highlighting the difference in their approaches to the season.

 

As a rookie, Acosta is already impressing with his performances, but his words about Martin suggest a deep respect for the mental resilience and strategic adjustments that defined Martin’s successful season. Acosta’s own trajectory in MotoGP looks promising, but he seems content to learn from the experienced riders like Martin, who demonstrated that mental calmness and consistency are as vital as outright speed in securing the championship.

 

Jorge Martin’s 2024 title victory, characterized by a calm and consistent approach, serves as a reminder of how crucial psychological strength is in the high-pressure world of MotoGP. Despite not having the most wins, his ability to maintain focus and minimize mistakes ultimately made him the deserved champion, as Acosta rightly pointed out.
