ACOSTA CREW CHIEF SAYS KTM RIVALS STILL STRUGGLE TO BUILD A SOLID WEEKEND

Pedro Acosta’s Austrian Grand Prix win again highlighted the gap between the KTM RC16’s lead rider and the rest of the team—an issue his crew chief, Paul Trevathan, believes comes down to how quickly the weekend is put together. Trevathan said Acosta’s potential is “scary,” adding he can still improve after his first MotoGP victory at the Red Bull Ring. The reporting also notes the win was emotional for both, with Acosta describing Trevathan as a father figure in the aftermath at Spielberg.
