Ich war so schnell, dass es sogar schwierig geworden wäre, die Abkürzung zu nehmen.
However, Acosta stated: "I was so fast that it would have even been difficult to take the shortcut."
His mistake wasn't that big, Acosta noted, but the speed was too high.
"Championship Manoeuvre" against Marquez
Prior to this, the Spaniard had ridden an almost perfect Sprint race.
At the start, the orange prodigy lost a position to Marco Bezzecchi, but after Turn 3, Acosta was already in the lead.
He slipped through on the inside of Marc Marquez there. "A championship manoeuvre," he noted. "After all, we are fighting for the world title."
Strong Pace
Subsequently, the KTM rider had the race completely under control. "I was riding in a really good mood, the pace was strong."
He was surprised to be so fast from the start. "That's where I normally have my biggest problems," the Spaniard explained.
Same Approach for the Grand Prix
The Moto3 and Moto2 world champion rode his race dominantly – until he ended up in the gravel trap.
However, the crash changes nothing about his approach for the Grand Prix. Acosta clarified: "I have nothing to lose!"
