168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Augusto Fernandez didn’t attempt to sugar-coat a ‘slow’ Qatar MotoGP season opener, which the GASGAS Tech3 rider concluded with 17th place in the Sunday rac💎e.

The Spaniard, starting his s👍econd premier-cl🧔ass campaign, hasn’t been comfortable since switching to the 2024-spec RC16, including a carbon fibre frame.

F⭕ernandez said Sunda💯y was the best he has felt so far, but confessed he’s “still in a big hole”.

“It's been a difficult one since the beginning of the pre-season, a tough one,” Fernandez told TNT Sports. “I'm struggling a lot with the n꧑ew bike. We don't really know why. But I'm slow.

“But we've been working so hard and trying to find the base which I feel comfortable with riding and today is the best I've felt during al🍨l tꦯhe pre-season.

“Sꦿtill far, but at least I was fight𝓰ing for something [points].”

The 26-year-old, who has been ꦺovershadowed by new rookie team-ℱmate Pedro Acosta, added:

“At the end of last year, I♕ was fighting for good things, not podiums, but the speed was there.

“Somehow I miss something now with this new bike, butꦐ the potential is there because we see Brad, and Pedro, they are going so fast.

“I need 🌼to🍬 find my base, something that I can ride comfortably and get the feeling back.

“We have to take the positives and today I'm s🤡miling🗹 even though I've finished 17th!

“This pre-season has been one o💦f the 🌞toughest of my life. I'm still in a big hole, I have to say. 

"But the team is with ♉me, the [KTM] bosses are with me and we are working very hard.

“So it's 👍a matter of time and I really believe that we're going to be back up there.”

Acosta ra☂n as high as fourth before fading to ninth place in the Qatar Moto🐲GP.

Factory KTM star Brad Biꦡnder finished in second place w🀅hile team-mate Jack Miller was 21st and last after an early fall.

Fernandꦺez, who was 15th in last November's Qatar Grand Prix, took a best finish of fourth during his rookie season.
