Red Bull KTM's Pedro Acosta finished sixth, 10.745 seconds behind winner Jorge Martín, for his tenth Sprint points finish of the season. "The tire drop was worse than we expected — it's much hotter than last year here," he said, describing problems from lap three onward in the 10-lap race.

Everyone's talking about Aprilia's 1-2-3, but I'd say Acosta's sixth means more. That feeling of the tire dying from lap three onward — that's the fear of losing the throttle feel in your fingertips. He gritted through it and still brought home sixth. That kind of toughness deserves credit.

Gritting it out from lap three is so gutsy, respect for KTM went way up

Pushing to the absolute limit like that isn't something I'd ever try on the street, but it's badass
