Acosta's the real deal. Watching him ride from corner entry to exit is a pleasure. That's exactly why continued machine trouble is so frustrating. 'Every day is a surprise' isn't something a rider should have to say. KTM needs to answer for it, or they'll waste this treasure.

Acosta's already got his next team lined up, and he's still this candid about it - gotta respect that.

Where exactly did this new issue actually occur?

The article keeps the details vague, so I'm curious whether the real cause comes out before the next round.

A whole new problem separate from before - sounds like they haven't even pinned down the cause yet.

A rider who's already set to leave still speaking this candidly about his current team's new trouble - if anything that makes it more credible.

'Every day is a new surprise' - you can feel the frustration in that bit of sarcasm.
