Raúl Fernández begins a new season with Trackhouse MotoGP and, for the third year in a row, will ride an Aprilia – now as the longest-serving rider for the Noale manufacturer.
However, the Spaniard rejects any notion of being a point of reference within Aprilia, emphasizing that reigning champion Jorge Martín will be with the official team: ‘No, I don’t think so. Jorge is the world champion, he will surely take the Aprilia for the first time in a race in Thailand. He is now the reference in MotoGP; when you have number one, it’s super clear to me’.
As for himself, Fernández aims to focus on his own performance while acknowledging he still has a lot to learn: ‘It’s true that what I want to do is give the best of myself, try to concentrate on myself. Of course I have a lot to learn with them, too Marco [Bezzecchi] arrives, and [Ai] Ogura arrives as world champion. I’m sure I have a lot to learn, but I will try to be really focused on myself, not on who Aprilia’s referent is’.
#25 concluded: ‘I have the same bike as them, I will try to give the best of myself, improving in each test session, and I will try not to think about the result. This is the second thing we want to see this year. I want to be fit, focused, and try to give the best of myself’.
