Acosta's the real deal. I've gotten chills more than once watching that momentum of his climbing through the lower categories. Sitting on the strongest Ducati's works seat means standing somewhere no excuses will fly. Eating from the same table as Marquez -- how far he transforms from here is a thrilling story.

What did you think?

How old is Acosta again? So he's that highly regarded a rider, huh.

Acosta's only 21. Podiums right after stepping up from Moto2, of course every manufacturer's fighting over him.

A factory Ducati seat at this age reminds me of Rossi's or Marquez's early years.

Starting 2027 means waiting out his current KTM contract, I guess. Locking in a factory seat before turning 25 is exceptional.

Getting a factory ride is great, but worried he might get crushed being in the same camp as Marquez.

Acosta finally to Ducati! The next generation's leading man is locked in now.

Being fast on a Ducati's basically expected now, so part of me wanted to see his real worth proven while still on the KTM.
