As an aside, Acosta seems to be learning the game. Wonder if KTM will be able to stay as a competitive force next year.
The impressive thing is that he can go through all of that and still get his head down and ride to a level above everyone else. Most people, and even the top athletes, would have a bit too much mental scar tissue. He's looking completely in control and the others must feel like they are riding for second unless he makes a mistake.
Also, impressive maturity to recognise his personal errors in making some of his previous comments and to publicly recognise the team for putting up with it and helping him. It's easy to forget that he's still relatively young. Maybe Honda will be coming on song again at the right time for him to move.
On my way home from there now. Not sure what a spots psychologist would say to Pecco, but my take on it is that he stayed on the bike, scored points and Alex did not score any points - a result for Pecco. Not sure he sees that as good enough though Took this picture with the phone !
