Raul Fernandez says he would “like not🐼 to repeat” ever having to change bikes midway through a MotoGP season ꦇafter going from the 2023 Aprilia to the 2024-spec.

The Trackho🌸use rider started the campaign on last year’s Aprilia and was a consistent top 10 challenger on it, achieving his best grand prix result ofಞ the year in Barcelona in sixth.

But from the British GP, Fernandez was switched to the 2024 RS-GP and struggled to understand it, with his best result a 10th on two occasions in t💜he second half of the campaign.

As Aprilia’s only remaining rider for 2025, Fernandez w🦹as also tasked with carr𝓰ying out a lot of development work, which meant he “didn’t have time for us” to focus on himself.

Ending the year 16th in ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚthe points, Fernandez says he “didn’t improve” across the year⛎ and hopes to never have to change bike again during a season.

“At the end, it was super difficult,” he said.

“We didn’t improve. Maybe we tested a lot of thin𝕴gs and we didn’t haveဣ a lot of time for us.

“So, we were focuse🌸d ❀on improving the project and trying to understand a lot of things.

“I ꦆtried many, many things with the bike from last year. I changed a lot of things, we tried, we had to understand a lot more ♐things.

“But in the end we understood nothing. It’s frustrating. Yeah, we understood a lot of things but in the end I c🌞ouldn’t use them. So, this is the frustrating part.

“I don’t want to do ✱this thi💦ng [change bike during a campaign] next year or in my life.

“I would like to not repeat this thing. It’s really difficult to chan♎ge all of the bike in the middle of the season.

“If you change small details, ok, but the bike is com🙈pletely opposite.

“So, you need to change a lot of things on your riding style. So🍎, it didn’t help us.”

Fernandez remains with Tracಞkhouse for another two years and will be joined by reigning Moto2 worl𝓰d champion Ai Ogura next year.
