    I found this interview with Acosta on Gypsy Tales:

    There is a bit where he talks about Marc - what he said was (a little paraphrased), "For me, it is not about how much he achieve, it is how much it cost to take it back. Because when you have the crown and this go away [mentions talented riders like pecco and martin who have won in the mean time], and you come from difficult years to take it back, you know, what is yours (this is what I am thinking he thinks), you come and take the cup, then man, there is no one more deserving than you ... I am really honest when I am talking about people, and when someone is that good, you have to recognise - I hope one day to have the heart of what he achieved - I dont respect him more for what what he achieved, but even more for what he suffered to take it back"

    Powerful stuff

    I've seen a few angles... most unlike him from all accounts though.

    If you haven seen this, its quite a revealing and interesting interview with Jorge Martin:

    A master class alright! Though yeah, he looked about 50 years old when he first took his helmet off, and he put on that ice pack vest and he was still sweating profusely at the interview of the podium finishers. Ogura on the other hand - hair was bone dry, and looked like he had just come out the hair salon, what the fuck!!!

    I truly thought MM was gonna flake out just before the podium celebrations. Pecco was looking really good but MM seems to be able to use the tyres less
    Agree Ogura looked very fresh. He came from a long way back to get Pecco ,who was very slighly wide I thought.

    Never under estimate the MM desire to win, that man is so mentally strong FFS.

    Agrre he looked like he was going to flake just before the podium. Noone has ever had an answer for him and that strength has pushed a few into silly things.

    Iogura will learn he is humble and a thinker doing very well atm I like Him.

    Good to see Bags back up there.
    Jeez Bez, you are just throwing away your title hopes and will probably look back at this weekend with regret and if only. . .
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    be interesting to see how it progresses. How will he cope with the pressure when things get tight and every second question will be about the title fight, and every point matters. The reaction to the crash was about that pressure already.
    I agree about Bagnaia being up there shows some development of the bike,and surely if he is up there he is helping in the development.

    There's one thing about Marc, he has all kinds of pressure.. mental, physical, skill, the ability to go further... you'd have to wear a tin foil hat to keep him out of your brain
