The Aprilia rider, who is aboard the updated-spec RS-GP24 bike for the first time this seaܫson at Silverstone, end🐭ed the race in 12th place.

“I was ꦚvery lucky not to get involved in the crash in 🤪the first corner and get away," said Fernandez. 

"I’m happy as the best thing for me, right now, is that I already know the mꦦarไgin of the bike and we just need to get in more kilometers and understand the bike more - I have to find out where the limit is. 

"This morning, I was really close to 🍌getting into Q2 for the first time with the 2024 RS-GP. 🐽;

"In the Sprint my pace was quite decent. I decided to go with the soft ൩front in order to be able to stay with the group and to understand the bike more, but then I was alone and at the back of the field. 

"Obviously, I tried to do my best to recover and was ꧅12th at the end of the race and I think it was really good. I did many kilometers on the bike, learned a lot and I already know my tyre choice for Sunday. 

"Overall, I’m really happy with this b🍌ike as I can run close to others and overtake better, which is great.”

A tough race for Fernandez, Tܫrackhouse ended the 10-lap sprint scoreless as Miguel Oliveira finished tenth, one place out of the points. 

Oliveira❀ blamed the electronics as♊ the reason he can't get the best out of the current RS-GP package.

Speaking about his Saturday at Silverstone, Oliveira💞 added: “The first run in Qualifying was not good and🐓 the second one was alright, but still two tenths off challenging for Q2 and that meant I qualified again in the fifth row. 

"I had a good start for the Sprinꦫt. Fortunately, there was no incident for me in the first corner, which was quite close to happening. 

"Then, I just started to lose so much rear grip and couldn’t go forward. I switched all the mappings, but it was still not enough just to keep up with M༒averick (Vinales) and Jack (Miller). 

"It was super frustrating because I feel I was riding quite well, 🦩but I’m just stuck there w𓂃ith the electronics so deep into the traction control that I can’t go forward. 

"I’m really looking to improve this as we had a good ste🐽p witꦯh the bike and I was able to be a little bit faster today.”
