I want to temper my expectations, as the norm is that Moto3 dominations don’t translate well to the bigger bikes; Acosta being the exception.

That said, I’ve seen pictures of Alonso training with a CBR600RR, so maybe he’s working towards that already.

Acosta took a fair chunk of his 1st year to learn Moto2. Nothing wrong if Alonso doesn't dominate his first year. Marc Marquez didn't win his first year of Moto2 - though perhaps he could have.

I'd love to know what sort of times he is putting out on the 600RR...though I am not sure even if we knew it would provide much insight without seeing what others are doing on the same track with the same bike.

Does make me wish I knew what happened to the onboard video I saw sometime ago of I believe Nicolo Canepa riding a R1 on the same track as Marc Marquez riding a 600RR. This was when Marc was still riding the Honda in GP. But while the R1 obviously pulled away in a straight line, watching Marc completely close up the gap under braking was absolutely breathtaking to watch. Showed off how fast a 600 is in the hands of a rider of that caliber even when faced with trying to catch a liter bike.
