MotoGP rookie sensation Pedro Acosta says fighting for the 2024 title is “not the priority” at the moment after claiming another podium finish in Austin last weekend.
Although there were high hopes for Acosta given his stellar record in junior categories, the Tech3 GasGas rider has defined even the loftiest of expectations by becoming the youngest rider to score back-to-back podiums, as he followed his third place in Portugal last month with a second-place finish in the Americas GP on Sunday.

But a maiden MotoGP win wasn't to be for Acosta in Austin, as polesitter Maverick Vinales recovered from a poor start to snatch the top spot on lap 13.
