Acosta’s poor start to the Mugello weekend follows a fortnight after his incredible run in the Catalan Grand Prix, where he felt he came closest to his maiden grand prix win.
The 21-year-old has been in fine form so far this season, having scored several podiums and a sprint win in Buriram across the opening six rounds.
His only low point came at the Spanish Grand Prix in April, where he could bag just six points with a 10th place finish.
Acosta compared his early Mugello struggles to Jerez, but hopes to make a step overnight by looking into Bastianini’s data on the satellite RC16.
“It is quite similar to what happened in Jerez,” he said. “That also was a track that I was struggling at. I’m struggling a lot through corners 8-9. It is also quite similar to what happened to me in Jerez.
“For this, we will try to take Enea’s way quite early compared to last time.”
