Augusto Fernández and Pedro Acosta are ready to go in this 2024 season and Nicolas Goyon has, just like Hervé Poncharal, high expectations for both.
The Team Manager of the (new) Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 began by speaking about the new format that was introduced last year and after about the #37:
– In 2023 we had a lot of changes. We had this new Sprint format, and the new team structure but this means we are set and ready for the coming season. Augusto was strong for his rookie season. Of course, we all expect him to improve for 2024. He is very calm! He always takes some time to think about what has happened on the track and then to explain the technique and his feelings. This is something super-important for the team to develop and set-up the bike.
As for the new member of the team, the Moto2 world champion, Goyon believes that he will be a learning process: ‘Pedro is a great talent but my message for the fans would be ‘be patient’. You know, it is not so easy for a rookie to perform. It is complicated now with ride-height devices and a lot of electronics. The format of the weekend is also complicated and something to learn. Let’s give him time’.
And concluded: ‘For me, the 2024 Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 line-up will be even closer to the fans. Both riders are young, and we know this is the main target for GASGAS, to connect and excite all those that watch MotoGP’.
