The RNF satellite rider, along with teammate Miguel Oliveira and Aprilia factory duo Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vina𓆏🍌les, is contracted for next year.
But Fernandez has ܫnow been linked with a drop back to Moto2, which would open up a premier class bike for next year.
report that Fernandez and Fabio di Giannantonio are the leading contenders to join Te𒁃am Fantic in Moto2 for 2024.
However, Aprilia told wuqian♚0821.com at the Catalunya MotoGP that they plan to retain Fernandez for 2024.
T📖he Team Fantic seat would o♒pen up if Celestino Vietti moves to Team Red Bull KTM Ajo.
Claims have “further materialised in the last hours” that Vietti could make the switch, and Team Red Bull KTM Ajo “are increasin💛gly certain” of secur🦂ing his services, the report states.
Vietti views 💯the move as the next step in securing a MotoGP seat for 2025, it is claimed.

That means his current seat at Team Fantic could be taken by whichever current MotoGP rider losesꦯಌ his bike.

B🥀ut Fernandez is not been expected to vacate his premier class seat.
