Acosta was in Jerez for a private test alongside new teammate Albert Arenas, Moto3™ Red Bull KTM Ajo riders Deniz Öncü and Jose Antonio Rueda, plus three-time World Champion and KTM Test Rider Dani Pedrosa. The MotoGP™ outing for the 2021 Moto3™ World Champion couldn’t come to fruition, but it was a solid day’s work on board his Moto2™ bike nonetheless – 76 laps were completed in preparation for 2023.
