Pedro Acosta has already left his mark on his Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 team and Nicolas Goyon is one of those who really liked what they saw from the young rookie, before the official start of the championship. However, the team manager has not forgotten his other driver Augusto Fernandez, who will be keen to forget a failed off-season during this Qatar Grand Prix which will reveal the setting he prefers: that of real competition.
In an official statement, the team director addressed the start of the season: “ after a lot of hard work during preseason testing, it's finally time for Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 to launch its 2024 MotoGP campaign, under the spotlights of the Losail circuit for the Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix, recently elected Grand Prix of 2023! »
Then he talked about team rookie, who is also this year the only rookie in the category: “ Pedro Acosta spent nine days on the track with his GASGAS RC16 and covered over 2 km, and all we can say, it kept us in suspense and surprised us every day by the way he adapted to both the bike and the category. We just finished the introduction, now it's time to write the story ».
Nicolas Goyon: “ our bike has made significant progress over the winter, it is much more competitive »
But the Frenchman recalled that the double Moto3 and Moto2 World Champion had a teammate, now seasoned after a successful MotoGP campaign last year: Augusto Fernandez... " He experienced some difficulties during the testing period, but we know that testing is not his strong point " mentioned Nicolas Goyon. " However, he showed improvements towards the end of the Qatar Test, and we know he will return to being the fighter he was in 2023 ».
He adds : " our bike has made significant progress over the winter, it is much more competitive, but the first race in Doha will be where all the pieces come together. We have a great bike, a great livery, incredible partners like Pierer Mobility Group, Red Bull and Motul, and an exciting line-up with Acosta-Fernandez. We couldn't be more excited as this curtain rises on this season MotoGP 2024! ". Can’t wait for Friday then!
