The 🦂RNF satellite rider, along with teammate Miguel Oliveira and Aprilia factory duo Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales, is contracted 💫for next year.

But Fernandez has now been linked with a drop🌃 back to Moto2, which𒊎 would open up a premier class bike for next year.

report that Fernandez and Fabio di Giannaℱntonio are the leading 🦋contenders to join Team Fantic in Moto2 for 2024.

However, Aprilia told mahbx.com at the 🍸Catalunya MotoGP that they plan to retain Fernande🗹z for 2024.

The Team Fantic seat would open up if Celestino V꧋ietti 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 increaꦦsingly certain” of securing his services, the report states.

Vietti views the move as the n🅠ext step in secur✱ing a MotoGP seat for 2025, it is claimed.

That means his current seat at Team Fantic could be taken by whichever current MotoG🔴P rider loses his bi𒅌ke.

Di Giannantonio of Gresini Raci🐟ng has long been linked with an exit, with a host of contenders coveting his Ducati.

But Fernan𝓀dez is not been expected to vacate hi🌌s premier class seat.

He sits 20th in the MotoGP standings - the only full-time riders lower than him are Pol Espargaro (who has onl🐎y competed in two rounds) and Joan Mir.
