With the majority of the MotoGP grid into t🐻he final year of their current contracts, a major reshuffle could take place for 2025.

While many riders will eagerly dream of a much better bike or a new team, others will sim𝐆ply be desperately hoping to stay put.

Augusto Ferna𒆙ndez admits the harsh reality of trying to maintain his place in the premier class amid such intense competition.

The Tech3 GASGAS rider was the Moto2 champion ⛦in 2022 and is now i🦋nto his second season in MotoGP.

But ꧃his teammate this year♛ is the incredible Pedro Acosta who is receiving rave reviews.

ℱFernandez, meanwhile, finished 17th🅺 in Qatar and 11th in Portugal.

He told about receivi𝕴ng a new contract for next year: "Of course, there 𝓀is no need to fool yourself here.

“If you don't have speed and you don't run, no help will com✱e and next year there will be no contract.

“It is clear that it is a decisive ye🐷ar and you have to hurry up to be there.

“I am the first one who doesn't want ꦯto be so far behind.”

Fernandez knows that K𝔍TM haven’t been shy in axing riders in the past in pursuit of exc♌ellence.

The rise of 💜Acosta means that his Tech3 teammate Fernandez will also receive parts from the f𒈔actory KTM team that he might not have enjoyed last year.

But, on paper and in the results column, Fernandez is the lowest priorit💝y of KTM’s f🔜our riders.

"It's a difficult moment," he admitted.

"It's ♊my second year and it's hard for me to admit it, but it's like starting from scraℱtch.

“We're half a second away from being in the top 10 and we're going to start there, work to get closer to the points a෴nd build from there."
