Raul Fernandez says he would “like not to r🌄epeat” ever having to change bikes midway through a MotoGP season after going from the 202💫3 Aprilia to the 2024-spec.

T🐷he Trackhouse rider started the campaign on last year’s Aprilia and was a consistent top 10 challenger on it, achieving his best grand prix result of the year in Barcelona in sixth.

But from the British GP, Fernandez was switched to the 2024 🐟RS-GP and struggled to understand it, with his best result a 10th on two occasions in the second half of the campaign.

Asඣ Aprilia’s only remaining rider for 2025, ಞFernandez was also tasked with carrying out a lot of development work, which meant he “didn’t have time for us” to focus on himself.

Ending the year 16th in the points, Fernandez says he “didn’t improve” across the year and hopes to never have to change bike agai𓆏n during a season.

“At the end, it was super difficult,” he said.

“We didn’t improve. Maybe we tested a lot of things and we didn’t ha🍒ve a lot of time for us.

“So, we were focused o🐽n improving the project and trying to understand a lot of thin✱gs.

“I tried m♍any, many things with the bike fꦇrom last year. I changed a lot of things, we tried, we had to understand a lot more things.

“But in the end we understood nothing. It’s frustrating. Yeah, we understoo𒆙d a lot of things but in the end I couldn’t use them. So, this is the frustrating part.

“I don’t want🌠 to do🉐 this thing [change bike during a campaign] next year or in my life.

“Iও would like to not repeat this thing. It’s really difficult to change all of the bike in the middle of the season.

“If you change small details🍃, ok, but the bike is co🍎mpletely opposite.

“So, you need to change a lot of things on your riding style. So, it 💞didn’t help us.”

Fernandez ꦅremains with Trackhouse for another two years and will be joined by reigning Moto2 w♍orld champion Ai Ogura next year.
