Augusto Fernández, during the testing sessions in Misano, emphasized his work on the foundational aspects of his motorcycle. He finished ninth in the first testing session and fifteenth in the second. Fernández’s primary objective was to work on the base of his bike and identify elements that could assist him immediately, especially since there were no new components to test.

“We worked on my base bike; I had nothing to test. But I needed this calm day to try things out without worrying about clocking a good time. It was an opportunity to experiment with aspects that might not work out, helping us understand the direction we should take,” explained the Spanish rider from the GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3 team.

Fernández, the only rookie in the category for 2023, then highlighted the positive takeaways from the test. “I believe we found something. I won’t say it too loudly because the track conditions here can change, and the entire scenario can shift. However, I felt good during braking, which was an area I felt needed improvement. We made significant progress compared to yesterday’s race, and I also maintained a consistent pace. So, there’s nothing more to do; we’ll take this base and continue in India. I hope the improvements we’ve made prove beneficial.”

The emphasis on foundational aspects and the base of the bike is crucial for riders, especially in a sport as competitive as MotoGP. Fine-tuning the motorcycle to the rider’s preferences can make a significant difference in race performance. Fernández’s approach to focus on the basics, rather than new components, showcases his dedication to understanding his machine thoroughly and ensuring that he is in the best possible position to compete.

Misano, with its unique track conditions, offers riders a different challenge. The track’s characteristics can change rapidly, making it essential for riders to have a bike that can adapt quickly. Fernández’s comments about feeling good during braking highlight the importance of having a motorcycle that responds well in all conditions. Braking, in particular, is a critical aspect of racing, allowing riders to navigate corners efficiently and maintain optimal speeds.

The GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3 team, known for its dedication to excellence, will undoubtedly take the insights from this testing session and apply them in future races. With the next race set in India, a track with its own set of challenges, the team and Fernández will be keen to see how the improvements made in Misano translate to a different racing environment.

In the world of MotoGP, where fractions of a second can determine the outcome of a race, every bit of information and every minor adjustment can be crucial. Fernández’s focus on the foundational aspects of his bike, combined with the team’s expertise, sets the stage for exciting races in the future. Fans and enthusiasts will be eagerly waiting to see how the young Spanish rider performs in the upcoming races, armed with the knowledge and improvements from the Misano tests.
