\u201cI see that being angry and not being satisfied, and being, I would say, angry with myself because the results were not coming, was not my way to go, and everything was even worse,\u201d he told the official MotoGP website.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd everything was quite difficult to live with every day. Now, I\u2019m quite calm. I know I\u2019m giving my 100%.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that I\u2019m taking 100% out of the package that we have. For this, if it\u2019s not in my hands, I cannot get angry at all.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end, KTM knows exactly that they have to work. They know we have to make a step if we want to fight for something, or at least to be constantly on the podium.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou cannot achieve everything from day to night. I will try to keep myself calm, and if it has to arrive, then it will arrive. When you are competitive, everything is open.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it will be a lottery, if I am honest,\u201d Acosta added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s true that I\u2019m quite pumped to see Europe again, because for KTM, I think really good tracks are coming.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey could be in the same way as Hungary, Portugal and Valencia, where normally KTM was always good there.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd also, I was feeling quite ok last season in Portugal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we arrive even better. For sure, the one who makes a bet for \u201927 will be a 50\/50: 50% of the possibility to win and the other to lose.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I have a good team around to manage these things. I don\u2019t have to really care about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
