After much speculation, Pedro Acosta’s (GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3) MotoGP™ number has been unveiled as the reigning Moto2™ World Champion dons the #31 on his premier class debut in Valencia.
Teammate Augusto Fernandez runs the #37 already in MotoGP™ - a number that Acosta won his Moto3™ and Moto2™ titles with - so just like he had to when moving up to Moto2™ in 2022, Acosta needed to find a new number ahead of linking up with his former Red Bull KTM Ajo teammate.
And that number has been confirmed as the #31. Acosta hinted that it would be similar to #37, and he’ll be hoping his new digits will bring him similar success.
A bit of an early battle between @37_pedroacosta and Maverick! 😂⚔️
