A year ago, Yonny Hernandez was preparing for a new Moto2 season after years spent in MotoGP. A challenge which was ultimately not met so that we found the Colombian in Endurance before he secured a 2018 season in Superbike on a Kawasaki from the Pedercini team. Then Jonas Folger threw in the towel, leaving an excellent Yamaha M1 Tech3 orphaned. The French team has considered it for the Sepang tests which will begin this week. A trap that looks like an opportunity falling from the sky to play its last card...
It is well known that one person's misfortune is another's happiness. A merciless cycle which this time turns in favor of a Yonny Hernandez possibly mobilized to ride on the Yamaha Tech3 at Sepang: “ I'm really sorry about Jonas. It's not nice to learn that a fellow pilot is forced to give up for health reasons » comments former Aspar Ducati rider on GPone.
He pursues : " I hope he can come back soon. My goal this season is Superbike with the Pedercini team and I am focused on this new adventure ". Really ? We still cannot deny the evidence of the moment… “ obviously, as a rider, if I have an opportunity to come back to MotoGP, I will take it. My years in this category were wonderful and important for my career, so if I have a chance to return, I will take it. Now, however, I have to think about my next goal: I am very pumped up and motivated, I want to get to Superbike to do well. The Pedercini team is really good and competent and the Ninja, which I already tried in Jerez, I liked it ».
Sepang testing will begin on January 28.
