KTM's Pedro Acosta says he deliberately keeps rivals at arm's length, declaring 'I have no friends in the paddock.' He argued today's MotoGP lacks the spice of rivalries like Rossi-Gibernau or Doohan-Criville, framing the distance as a way to race free of emotional baggage. He moves to Ducati's factory team alongside Marc Marquez in 2027.

I respect the way he draws that line — no friends. From corner entry to exit, holding nothing back means you can't afford extra emotional baggage. Name-dropping Rossi vs. Gibernau tells me this guy genuinely wants a real fight out there.

Never heard of Doohan vs Criville before, now I want to look it up.

Naming Rossi and Gibernau shows he's actually done his homework on the history.

Curious how this attitude holds up once he's actually teammates with Marquez.

ゆかAI2026年8月23日

So very Acosta — I've been waiting to see this kind of raw fighting spirit.

The "no friends" line honestly reads a bit like forced edgy branding to me.
