When Raul Fernandez finished with a first season in Moto2 so successful that it opened the doors to MotoGP for him, we were surprised to hear him make acrimonious comments about an Ajo team to which he still owed a lot to have gotten there. The team would not have supported him enough and would thus have condemned him to be vice-world champion of his teammate Remy Gardner. The Spaniard, now a member of the Tech3 KTM structure, then explained his comments by swearing that he held no grudge against anyone. However, in this interview spotted on Motosan, we discover what, in some way, hurt him in 2021…
Raul fernandez will make his debut in MotoGP next year with the objective of being the best rookie in the category which he ultimately joined quite quickly. A single season of Moto2 will have been enough for him to definitively convince his employer KTM who gave him every possible satisfaction so as not to let him slip away in the direction of Yamaha . We will recall in this regard that he put the development of his younger brother's career in the balance, and the latter will also find himself at Tech3 in 2022, but in Moto3.
Injured and in hospital, Raul Fernandez remembers that no one from his team came to visit him
But what happened in 2021 at Garlic so that Raul appears humanly disappointed? We discover this when he is asked the question of the personal environment to manage during a career… “ I have an environment that is very good in everything: it gives me advice, thinks about me a lot and that's what I count on the most "" he begins before adding: " In the world of motorcycles, the family is very frowned upon. But my family brought me this far, why shouldn't they get involved? The family is still there, when you fall and break your arm at 10 years old or when you break it at 20 years old… they will always be there ».
Then he blurts out: “ when I was in the hospital, only my family and my manager came. I didn't meet anyone from the team and I was in Barcelona. It's difficult. This is not to attack the team, far from it, but it is to show you who is there when you have problems ". And those who are absent, they say, are always wrong.
