After making his Aprilia debut in Valencia following a disastrous rookie season with the Tech 3 KTM team, Fernandez will now be in action for the first time this year during the upcomไing three-day Sepang MotoGP test.

• Augusto F🌊ernandez: 'Here you can feel real MotoGPꦗ power'

But after a difficult season with KTM where Fernandez looked lost for confidence, a second o🗹pportunity in the premier class has since come his way, which is one he can’t wait to begin properly after his debut aboard the RS-GP ‘was a nꩵice surprise’. 

Discussing his first impressions and what he liked most about the Aprilia on the eve of the Sepang test, Fernandez added: "Was a nice surprise. Th✱e bike was supe💮r easy to ride. The engine is amazing and I feel super different on the bike. 

"I cannot explain all the differences I have on the bike but the most impressive thing about the bike is that it’s not too phꦚysical. 

"Also, I had a super bad weekend with KTM, the last race with KTM and I was in the hospital so I was not in good [condition] for the test, but on the bike I felt♍ really good."

When it com🌜es to this⛦ weekend and what the Spaniard wants to achieve, putting together a complete test where many productive laps are set, is the main goal.

"A lot," said 💃Fernandez when asked if he’s 📖excited to be aboard the RS-GP22 again. "I can say I will ride the Aprilia bike. To be honest I’m really happy to come back after a really difficult year for me. 

"I come back here to Malaysia and we will do three days. I will not do crazy things on the test, just I want to do a lot of laps and get more conf🦩idence for myself. 

"I think this is my principle job during the pre-season. When I take confidence in myself I will get some faste𝐆r times. Now is the time to fo🦋cus on myself and enjoy again the bike because I never enjoyed the last year when I ride. 

"This for a rider is really difficult to manage. Anyway, I’m really happy with the team I have, a🐻nd Aprilia. 

"I c🐲ome to the box and it fe💜els like my house, I don’t know why. Also, I come back [to being] with my crew chief from Moto2. That is important for me. I can’t wait to get back to work tomorrow."
