#pedro has spent 2 of his 4 years in the wc as teammates with augusto. And now what

[toastytrusty]

who up thinking about pedro acosta and augusto fernandez. how pedro has never lost a world championship while in possession of the 37 plate and never won a world championship while using a different plate. how he therefore has never won a championship while augusto was his teammate but has never lost it without him. how he's always chasing this guy up through the ranks, always either below or beside him, who he can admire and look up to because he's older and more experienced, and in some cases winning when pedro isn't. how in 2022 augusto won the moto2 title with 37, then left for motogp the next year, and pedro won the moto2 title with 37 again. how the 37 didn't stop winning for three years straight between the two of them. how pedro has won with it only after augusto won before him and relinquished the 37 to him. and yet now pedro is in motogp alongside him, and it's like the world revolves around him, and augusto is still there beside him, and yet he's also nowhere at all. the promise he showed was stamped out by someone clearly much more skilled than he is. someone so much younger than him, who he has now watched crash out of his first pole position in every class he's been in. someone who uses 31, because augusto already uses 37 and augusto got here first. but he won't be here last. pedro is the superstar everyone is watching and augusto has all but entirely faded into the background, but even now he still has that one thing that pedro wants, that pedro will never have while augusto is beside him as his teammate. and one can only assume pedro will use 37 again next year. and it will be like a part of augusto stayed with him because that 37 has always connected them. even if it becomes fully separated from augusto in the minds of most people who associate it fully with pedro and don't even know who augusto is, there will still always be those times when pedro had to use 31, because augusto used 37, and augusto got here first
