“The first test in Valencia was just about riding a MotoGP bike, w♉ithout thinking about🦩 changing settings too much,” Fernandez said.

“So logically the goal of the Shakedown was to get the job started pღroperly and𓆏 build my base. 

“I am happy to have had thre💝e days to get used to the MotoGP bike, and I already feel like I am starting to understand why everything is happening, and how to ride this machine. 

“We got a lot of information over the last three days, both in dry and wet conditions, and it is going to be very important to understand 🏅what I need to do to go faster in the next few days. 

💎“The team di✱d a very good job so I would like to say thank you to them. I am looking forward to Friday at the Sepang Test.”

Rookie Fernandez in Sepang: “I am starting to understand…”

Team manager Nicolas Goyon adde💜d: “Augusto Fernandez reunited with his bike here in Sepang after the first test in Valencia back in November. These three days of Shakedown Test were 🧜really constructive, although the weather was not helpful. 

“The positive is that he was able to ride already in a lot of different conditions, which is crucial for a rookie: he rode in wet tyres on full wet track, in wet tyres on a drying track, in slick tyres on a mixed track,💫 and of course in slicks on a dry track. 

“The third day was the most intense day as it was fully dry, and he did some very interesting lap times.💎  He di❀d not crash at all, which means that we have a good margin to improve. 

“He has a very good attitude, his comments are positive and constructive, so everyone in the box and at the Pierer Mobility Group is happy with him. We look forward to continuing the work with Au💙gusto on Friday for the Sepang Test.”
