Even a talent like Acosta says the first half was 'hard to judge.' That's probably the honest truth. When you're out there fighting on track, there's always a season you can't sum up in one word as good or bad. The bike, the tires, how the race unfolds - it's all tangled together. The fact that he can look at himself so calmly at his age tells you he's the real deal. Might well turn it around in the second half.

I think a lot of fans are looking forward to seeing how he turns things around in the second half.

The word 'complicated'—read generously it's humility, read less generously it kind of sounds like an excuse for the results.

Still, looking at the actual points situation, it's true this has been an up-and-down season.

I think a lot of fans find even Acosta's visible struggle appealing.

I'm curious exactly which races the 'progress' and 'challenges' he's referring to actually correspond to.

Using the word 'complicated' shows a maturity where the rider's looking at the substance, not just the result.

Being able to analyze himself this calmly, even as a young rider prone to riding the emotional highs and lows of results, shows real promise.
