꧋Augusto Fernandez looks set to join an expanded Yamaha MotoGP test team in 2025.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo is backing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Augusto Fernandez to become a Yamaha MotoGP test rider for 2025.
Without a seat at Tech3 KTM next year, former Moto2 champion Fernandez’s ful𝓰l-time future in the premier class looks bleak.
Meanwhile, Yamahꦫa is seeking a second test rider to join the currently ﷺinjured Cal Crutchlow.
Crutchlow was recently replaced by Yamaha World Superbike rider and former MotoGP racer Remy Gardner for two MotoGP appearances, in place of Alex Rins in Germany and as⭕ a wild-card at Silverstone.
However, Gardner is keen to continue as a full-time WorldSBK rider next year.
"It's already a few months that I'm pushing to have a test rider that has been [racing] a MotoGP bike really recently, 🍌a rider that is really hungry," quo🐻tes Quartararo as saying at the Red Bull Ring.
"For me, Augusto is clearly a rider that I pushed sinc🌌e a few months ago."
The 2021 worl🥃d champion added that Fernandez could use wild-card M1 opportuniti🀅es to try and relaunch his MotoGP career.
"With fo✱ur Yamahas [from] next year for sure if he's riding fast, he has the possibility to come back also in the championship," Qꦗuartararo said. "So I think this is really important to find the rider that really wants to come back and give some proper information."
Fernandez admitted his initial reaction to the t💃est rider interest was that it would be like ‘retirement’ but now feels it would offer a better route back to a MotoGP race seat than switching to WorldSBK.
"The first thing that came into my mi𒈔nd was like retirement, no? But then thinking, it's the best opportunity to get back into this paddock, more than going to World Superbike," said 🐻the 26-year-old.
"I always love Superbike because I started in that paddock… But I'm not ready to close MotoG🅘P yet.
"Aleix [Espargaro] hi🐓t the peak of his career quite old, and a lot of riders did the same. S♛o I'm not done yet, that's for sure.
"So I will take these maybe [next] two years in a different way, working a lot to be back at the level to be comp🃏etitive and to deserve the ride.
🌠“That's what I'm telling to Yamaha,🐟 you will pick me because I will deserve the bike because I'm fast enough."
No riders have yet been announced for the new Pramac Yamaha project, but Miguel Oliveira is set for one of the seats with Jack Miller 🔥moving into contention for the oth𓄧er.
Quartararo and Alex Rins will continue at the 🌃factory Yamaha team.
