Johann Zarco believes the motorcycle's fundamental characteristics need a transformation.

Acosta's performances remain outstanding, and even after the accident, it appears inevitable that the young Spaniard will be contending for a victory in the near future.

The current Moto2 world champion crashed following an audacious attempt to overtake Fabio Di Giannantonio, having approached from a significant distance, only to lose control at the front.

Barely missing Di Giannantonio and Aleix Espargaro, who were in front as they approached the right turn, Acosta lost control and skidded off, narrowly avoiding a collision with the other two riders in what seemed like a fortunate turn of events for all involved.

"Actually, we got off to a pretty solid beginning," Acosta started. "We disconnected all the necessary parts at the perfect time. Our pace was impressive.

"Primarily, Diggia and Aleix were engaged in a contest right ahead of me at Turn 7, and possibly as they approached Turn 8, they veered too far to the right and applied their brakes a bit prematurely to make a left turn."

Talai-allcreator.com">king about his crash that led to his first failure to complete a race this season, Acosta commented, "And as they noticed their pace was quite sluggish, they began to slow down, and that’s when I was approaching at a high speed.

"In the final moments, my aim wasn't to collide with Aleix and ruin his race, so I attempted to brake and that's when I ended up locking the front wheel."
