With just three rounds to go in his second and - for now - final MotoGP season, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Augusto Fernandez is yet to g♋et close to the results of his rookie campaign.

Most importan𝓀tly for the Spaniard, he’s never felt com🐈fortable.

The GASGAS Tech3 rider took fourth place at Le Mans𝄹 among three toꦆp-ten finishes and 71 points last year.

So far this year, Fernandez has just 21 points, a best of eleventh and was out of a 2025 ride by mid-June, when Enea Bas𒉰tianini and Maverick Vinales.

Fernandez, who has ✨been linked with a possible Yamaha test riding deal, says his only goal is to try and finish the season with ‘good feelings’ on the bike.

“Last year was good here. Again, I don't know 🍒what to expect from this year, like in every track,” Fernandez said on Th♋ursday in Buriram.

“Last year I was in the top 10 on Friday, dire🔥ctly into Q2, and then the race wasn't perfect because I had some issues. But I felt not so bad🐻 here.

“So let's see.  We are working hard 🍰to try and finish the season with go🐈od feelings. I don't want to finish the season as bad as it's been all this season.”

Despite the end of the world championship being just weeks away, Fernandez said they are still🐓 without a base set-up.

“So we're still changing and playing," he said. "For this weekend, we have an idea. I'v🍸e been thinking a lot, to try to see how to get the feeling and also checking the other KTMs, and my bike last year.

“I don't know, just trying everything! I don't give up [hope of finding] the feeling, riding good, being as fast as I🦹 know. We have three tracks that I like♋ and let's see.”

The main change for the 2024 RC16 was the switch from a steel trellis frame to a carbon fibꦬre chassis, debuted by the factory team at the end of last year.

Fernandez’s rookie team-mate Pedro Acosta has taken the bike to four grand prix podiums this year, plus a further ro🦹strum for Brad Binder.

Asked if he has ever꧟ felt as comfortable on the carbon fibre as he had been last season, 🌺Fernandez replied: “Never. Never got the feeling.”

The former Moto2 world champion ad✱ded that🦩 his difficulties seem to stem from the flexibility of the chassis at the rear.

“It's not a lack of grip, but it is at the same 🍬time - the feeling that I have, and in terms of rear contact. It’s not stability, but it’s lik🔯e a flexible feeling. It’s a strange feeling.

“So yeah, it's been a very difficult one. But there are three more riders that have been able to go very fast this year. One🐬 [rider] more than the others. But at the end, [all] better than me.

“So as I said, I d♔on't give up. Three more races to go and let's k🦄eep pushing.”

Whil𝕴e Binder and Acosta are battling over fifth in the world championship, Binder’s team-mate Jack Miller is 14th in the standings, with a best finish of fifth.&nbs🅰p;
