Raul Fernandez escaped from a KTM project in MotoGP which closed like a trap on the two rookies who came from Moto2 with title and glory, placed by the brand at Tech3. The Spaniard, vice-world champion, ultimately had more luck than the crowned in the intermediate category last year Remy Gardner. The latter will be the big forgotten one in a transfer market which ultimately takes little account of the crowns won in the other classes presented in Grand Prix, which may raise questions. In Misano, Raul Fernandez finally found a smile again with this good Aprilia contract in his pocket which positions him for two years as a teammate of another future ex-KTM rider: Miguel Oliveira…
Unlike his companion in misfortune Remy gardner all's well that ends well for Raul fernandez. It is therefore with relief that he tries to enlighten his audience GP One on his anonymous first season in MotoGP: “ I don't know what was wrong » he admits. “ I didn't really understand the character of this bike. ". He thus takes his share of responsibility: “ all manufacturers have fast machines, we often see that all six different manufacturers have a bike in the top six. I think the RC16 works well, but the problem is I don't understand it ».
Raul Fernandez: “ I know I tried, I have a relaxed mind and I always tried to be professional »
He adds : " I didn't get the results I wanted, but honestly, if you know that you have given your best, you are calm. I know I tried, I have a relaxed mind and I always tried to be professional ».
And he ends: “ I want to finish at the highest level this season, always giving the best of myself. Of course now I am more relaxed knowing what I will do in 2023, but I still work for KTM and I want to do my best with them. I think the end of the season will be easier for me ". Will this be reflected in these next results?
