Raul Fernandez’s MotoGP career so far has been an utter disappointment after the Moto2 form that made him so highly rated. But there’s strong evidence we’ll see the real Fernandez in 2024
In 2022, Raul Fernandez graduated to MotoGP after a successful season in Moto2, becoming one of the most promising young talents, although he struggled to perform well in his rookie year. However, signs are pointing towards a potential turnaround for Fernandez in the upcoming 2024 season. Despite a strong Moto2 season in 2021, Fernandez’s transition to MotoGP with KTM’s Tech3 team was challenging, with poor results and technical difficulties. Moving to the RNF Racing team for 2023 did not immediately improve Fernandez’s performance, but he showed glimpses of his potential towards the end of the season. Fernandez’s form improved further when he joined the Trackhouse team, showcasing his talent by topping the post-race test. Despite a setback in the Sepang test due to a crash and injuries, expectations remain high for Fernandez as he prepares for the 2024 MotoGP season opener.
