Marc Marquez Just Warned Everyone About Pedro Acosta — And He Means It

Pedro Acosta has never won a MotoGP Grand Prix. He has a Sprint victory, he has a pile of second places, and he has two world championships from the smaller classes. But the big one, on a Sunday, has never come. He leaves KTM at the end of this season for the factory Ducati. And on Friday at the Red Bull Ring — KTM's home circuit, in front of KTM's home crowd, at a manufacturer that hasn't won a Grand Prix since 2022 — he topped both sessions. FP1 with a KTM one-two. Then Practice with a 1:28.381, over a tenth clear of the field. Then Marc Marquez, who leads the world championship, said something that got far less attention than it deserved. Asked about Acosta, he pointed out that Acosta is sixty-five points back with eight races to go — and that he himself was a hundred points back seven races ago. In this episode we go through Friday in detail, why the Red Bull Ring suits this bike, and why a rider with nothing to lose and everything unfinished is the most dangerous man in the paddock this weekend. 👉 SUBSCRIBE to GP Daily. 💬 COMMENT: Does he finally win one? *Chapters* 00:00 — The Sweep 01:15 — FP1 And A Familiar Name 02:30 — The Session That Mattered 03:50 — Why This Circuit 05:05 — Marquez's Warning 06:30 — The Last Chance 07:30 — Your Verdict #MotoGP #PedroAcosta #KTM #AustrianGP #RedBullRing #MarcMarquez #MotoGP2026 #GPDaily
