MotoGP, Augusto Fernandez: "in 2025, I won't be on the grid, that's for sure, but I will ride a MotoGP"

Although his future as a starting rider in MotoGP seems compromised, Augusto Fernandez does not seem ready to draw a line under the premier category. He mentions the possibility of becoming a test pilot, which would allow him to continue to evolve in this environment and be ready to seize new opportunities.

Le Austrian Grand Prix ended on a mixed note for Augusto Fernandez, who still managed to score points during Sunday's race, finishing close to his teammate Peter Acosta. Despite an improvement compared to Saturday, when he had to retire due to mechanical problems, the Mallorcan recognized that his performances are not enough to guarantee his future on the MotoGP grid next year. However, he hinted that he would likely remain linked to the premier class in one way or another.

« I'm a little happy because at least we suffered as much as Brad Binder and Jack Miller, " said Augusto Fernandez. " Acosta is normally very fast. We still suffered in the same points, but at least we had a competitive pace to get the most out of the peloton. » These words show a certain resignation to the reality of his performances this season, although he tried to remain optimistic.

Fernandez also mentioned on motosan the difficulties encountered when braking throughout the weekend. “ Blocking in MotoGP, you have to get used to it and you have to accept it. Don't bend over and wait for it to stop. With the heat from the front tire, it's worse. You must therefore avoid being close to another. Get some fresh air, cool the tires…It depends on the race. » An analysis that highlights the challenges he faces in a category where every detail counts.

As for his future, Augusto Fernandez was clear: “ I'm not going to be on the grid, that's for sure. But I'm going to ride a MotoGP. We work. It's not done yet, but I hope we will be soon. » So it seems that even though he will no longer be one of the 22 riders on the grid next year, he will continue to evolve in the MotoGP environment, perhaps as a test rider or in another role technical, expected at Yamaha according to rumor.
