KTM rider Pedro Acosta finished second at the Indonesian Grand Prix on Sunday after maintaining his position throughout the 27-lap race. The Spanish rookie said the team executed their race plan despite challenges with front tire pressure management when riding in traffic versus riding alone.
Acosta credited his maturity for avoiding mistakes that had plagued him earlier in the season. The rider set consistent podium finishes as his goal after the summer break, but he acknowledged the manufacturer needs to close the performance gap with rivals.
The KTM RC16 lacks front-end support, which causes riders to crash frequently, according to Acosta. He said the Austrian manufacturer continues working on the problem as the team tries to...
KTM rider Enea Bastianini retired from the Indonesian Grand Prix on Sunday because of mechanical problems. The Italian finished on the podium in Barcelona weeks earlier, but he struggled at Mandalika from Friday practice sessions through race day.
Bastianini said the team worked to improve his bike setup, but he noted riders overtook him under braking even though he performed well in fast corners. He wants to test the chassis used by Pedro Acosta, the only KTM rider who has recently shown competitive pace with the RC16.
The rider said he can evaluate the new frame better at this stage of the season compared to earlier in the year. Bastianini expressed concern about the strong winds expected at the Australian Grand Prix in two weeks.

Quartararo praised Rins' performance, saying the data from his teammate's riding helped him understand areas for improvement. All four Yamaha riders finished near the top 10 for the first time this season.
Quartararo managed his rear tire carefully throughout the 27-lap race, preventing overtaking attempts but limiting his ability to challenge riders ahead. He selected a hard...
