Acosta is an absolute monster. The young rider who tore it up at KTM finally gets on the red machine. And his teammate is Marquez, no less? Just imagining what battle the two of them put on from corner entry to exit gives me chills. Speaking as someone who's watched this on the ground, this combination is going to be the eye of the storm in 2027.

What exactly makes Acosta so impressive?

He's a monster who blazed through Moto3 and Moto2 at the fastest possible pace, nothing but expectations.

KTM's talent drain genuinely won't stop, they raise a rider and then lose them, over and over.

KTM to Ducati, the machine characteristics are so different it'll probably take a year to adapt.

On the flip side, there've been riders who blossomed after a machine change before, that's something to look forward to.

Every team says that when they bring someone in. The track record's still ahead of him.

Ducati officially calling him 'one of the most talented riders' carries real weight.
