A week ago, the name of Raul Fernandez hit the headlines by being announced, in the middle of FP4 of the MotoGP taken in his Styrian Grand Prix, as the future teammate at Remy Gardner's Tech3. Petrucci and Lecuona, who were sweating under their suits while driving the RC16, appreciated the news when they returned to the pits. At the same time, the promoted man was far from jubilant. A mood which decreased in pressure after a week, even if the disappointment is basically assumed by the Spanish hope who called it back…
Raul fernandez, in an interview broadcast on motogp.com quickly returned to the announcement made a week ago at the Red Bull Ring installing him in MotoGP on a KTM RC16 of the team Tech3. He says : " in Spain we say “sometimes life is hard”. I'm really happy that KTM gave me this opportunity. I think the bike is incredible and it's going to be very competitive " … Yes, but… " But I don't have the same opinion as KTM ».
Raul Fernandez: “ but, in the end, that's life and we're big boys, right? »
So clearly it wasn't his choice, and it still isn't. He adds, resigned: “ but, in the end, that's life and we're big boys, right? Sometimes it's like that and it's difficult, but I want to focus on Moto2 for now ". We do not know if this statement was an epilogue or a break in this story which will have at least twisted the neck of a reputation that at KTM we only ran there if we really wanted to.
