Augusto Fernandez is preparing to return to the Le Mans circuit, a place that has often smiled on him and where he took a good fourth place in 2023, marking his best result in MotoGP to date. This success took place on the home field of his Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 team, arousing great pride among its members. This year, however, Fernandez faces additional challenges, having had a rather sluggish start to the 2024 season.
Despite these obstacles, a day of
encouraging test in Jerez has rekindled his optimism for this fifth round of the MotoGP championship. “ I am very excited about going to France” said Fernandez with a touch of excitement. “
It’s a circuit that I particularly like and where I have always excelled, especially last year when I achieved my best result in MotoGP. Although our start to the season has been complicated, the energy and motivation to succeed at Le Mans are at their peak “.
