Yamaha test rider Augusto Fernandez will again deputise for the injured Miguel Oliveira at this weekend’s Spanish GP as the Pramac Yamaha rider continues to recover from the shoulder injuries he sustained in Argentina
Yamaha test rider Augusto Fernandez will substitute for the injured Miguel Oliveira at the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend, as Oliveira continues to recover from shoulder injuries sustained last month in Argentina. Oliveira expressed uncertainty about his readiness for the Jerez race, focusing on repairing ligament damage to his left shoulder. Fernandez, who has previously filled in for Oliveira, will compete as a wildcard for Yamaha’s test team, setting the stage for potential future MotoGP opportunities. Another injury replacement is Lorenzo Savadori, stepping in for world champion Jorge Martin, who is recovering in Qatar from severe chest injuries. Martin’s discharge from the hospital this week marks progress, but repatriation to Andorra may be delayed due to injury complications.
