Having a champion in the same machine, same pit, is the best teaching material for a young rider. That Acosta can flatly call it an 'honor' and the 'biggest chance' rather than a threat shows real mental strength. He's clearly out to steal every bit of Márquez's data and lines. From corner entry to exit, 2027's going to be a sparks-flying year.

Classic pattern - Marquez moving early to put his teammate in his place in the pecking order.

Acosta moving from KTM to Ducati - so who fills KTM's 2027 seat then?

'Rookie learns from the champion' is the classic line, but same machine means sparks will fly.

'Honored to learn from him' is just the official line - deep down he's probably thinking he'll eat him alive.

Publicly they'll play nice, but privately it's probably tense as hell...

Acosta and Marquez on the same team - does it get any more interesting than this?
