Pedro Acosta: "I'm going to Ducati to learn from Marc Marquez, not to beat him on same bike"

Pedro Acosta has responded to comments made by KTM CEO Gottfried Neumeister, who claimed that the Spaniard was joining Ducati due to his desire to beat Marc Marquez on the same machinery.

Last month, Neumeister said that he tried to keep Acosta within KTM's stable for MotoGP's era , but found that even money and the promise of a competitive bike wasn't enough to convince him to stay put.
