Pedro Acosta and comparisons to MM93

Interesting little snippet on Crash.net where Jorge Lorenzo compares and contrasts MM and Pedro Acosta:

I loved Jorge's description of MM;

“Marquez was a whirlwind of aggressiveness and risk-taking.

He wanted to win in all circumstances and at all costs.

And he was never satisfied, even if he didn't feel good on the bike, even if he didn't like the circuit, you had him there behind you, trying to pass you to beat you."

Yup, sounds like the MM we all know. Jorge reckons that Pedro 'does things in a more controlled way, but has the same talent'.

High praise, indeed.

I saw a clip of him talking to his team in the box during testing. He was talking very calmly about his realistic prospects in the first rounds, qualifying it with his strengths and current lack of experience.

Came across as very level-headed.

He's quoted as saying,"I'm not the new Marc Marquez,I'm the new Pedro Acosta".

I remember Ryan Giggs saying "I'm not the new George Best, I'm the new Ryan Giggs"
