Raul Fernandez still has a slim chance of becoming Moto2 World Champion this weekend in his first, but also his last, year in the category. He has 23 points while only one Grand Prix remains on his teammate and rival Remy Gardner. The latter must not be in the points or not see the finish this Sunday and the Spaniard must be victorious to reverse a balance which leans strongly towards the Australian. The future KTM Tech3 rider is thinking about it. But whatever happens, it will not shake one certainty that is...
Raul fernandez probably missed the boat Misano-2 where he fell while leading the race, and Portimao, scene of the last match, where he had to lower his flag in the event against his teammate and rival for the title Remy gardner due to a tire problem. An outcome that still annoys him: “ I am very angry because I lost a lot of points on Rémy. We had worked very well all weekend on the soft tire, I was able to do the whole race with it in practice and even attack hard in the last laps. But the temperature rose and it was very difficult to drive in the last part of the race. It was very difficult for the bike to brake, so congratulations to Rémy for his victory » he recalls before facing this weekend's final in Valencia.
Raul Fernandez: “ the only miracle is that Rémy falls in Valence«
On this meeting, he declared on Motosan : " it remains to face the last in Valencia, but what makes me the most angry, is that the championship is practically closed ". And he mentions: “ the only miracle is that Rémy falls in Valence. It hurts to say it like that, but it's the only thing that would give us possibilities ».
Then adds: “ despite everything, I'm going to go out to win, but anyway, that can't ruin a great year like this and we're going to give it our all in the last round of the year, that's for sure ". In this regard, the Ajo team celebrated seven double victories in 17 Moto2 Grands Prix in 2021. Raul fernandez ends with this statement: “ I stick to the speed I showed. I believe that in Moto2 I am one step ahead of everyone ". The category would therefore not be preparing to crown the best driver in the field. What can you think of it? Remy gardner ? They will have the opportunity to discuss it in the Tech3 MotoGP box in 2022 around their RC16.
