This will be the first time in India to race in MotoGP for everyone, which Augusto Fernandez sees as something positive, as all riders start from the same point and in ‘equal levels’. His main objective is to start off well.
Looking at this new destination in the class, the only rookie of 2023 said:
– We are going to a new country and a new circuit for everyone, so it is very exciting. It will be interesting to have all MotoGP riders on the same boat, so for once I will be on equal levels with the rest of the class, and it can be positive for myself. Of course we will have to learn the track, but otherwise the weekend will be similar to the usual race weekend, as I will still have to find my marks with the MotoGP bike.
He then said what his objectives are: ‘Our target is to do a good qualifying on Saturday, so we can start closer to the front. I am excited for this new destination, let’s go!‘.
