A year and a half on, MotoGP is still waiting to see the best of Raul Fernandez. But he might finally be getting there
“So far in the MotoGP championship, Raul Fernandez has faced challenges, but he is finally starting to fulfill his potential. In his first season and a half, he joined a satellite KTM team where the bike’s performance was lacking and there were distractions within the squad. Last year was disappointing, with only 14 points from 20 races due to contract drama and injuries.While 2023 looked more promising with Aprilia’s new satellite squad, Fernandez still faced setbacks, including arm pump that required surgery. After a much-needed break, he came back strong with a career-best top-10 finish at Silverstone. Unfortunately, technical issues and a front suspension failure in subsequent races hampered his progress. However, in Misano, he finally achieved success by winning the sprint race and performing well in the main race, beating his teammate Oliveira.”
