Soul-searching for Raul Fernandez: “I have to come back with a fresh mentality”
A sore Raul Ferna🌟ndez scored his best MotoGP result of the season at CO🍬TA but admitted he must control his mistakes.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Raul Fernandez took his best finish of the MotoGP season so far with tweꩵ🍷lfth place in Sunday’s COTA round.
But the Trackhouse rider pledged to do some soul-searching after an unforced error in qualifying led to🍌 him carrying a shoulder injury for the grand prix.
Fernandez was launche🐲d from his Aprilia when his rear wheel dropped over the kerb at Turn 10 on his 🐭opening flying lap of Qualifying 1.
Damage to the air fence brought out red flags, wh♕ich at least allowed Fernandez time to return, but he was left just 19th on the grid.
That became a lowꦿly 17th in the Sprint before the Spaniard salvaged points in the grand prix, aided🅺 by mistakes for riders ahead.
Despite the result, Fernandez was blunt in his asses📖smenꦫt.
“I need to be calmer”
“I’m happy with 🌌the bike, like always. But I still need to be calmer,” Fernandez said.
“I made a lot o💧f mistakes and also the mistake I made [in qualifying] didn’t help because in the last six laps, I didn’t feel good with my 🌄shoulder.
“Anyway, I need to imprꦐove, try to be more relaxed and try to think more about what I 🥀have to do.
“Right now, I feel the bike is ready, I can ride like I want, we have the pa♚ce and everything is ready, but I make a lot of mistakes in tricky situations. I would like to improve that for the future.”
“I cannot make this kind of mistake”
Analysing his big qualifying crash, at the Trackhouse team’s home eve♈nt, Fernandez didn’t try and sugar coat the error.
“I cannot make this kind of mistake. Since I arrived in the world championship, I never crashed in the first lap of a qualifying. So I take responsibility,ꦕ” he said.
“What I need is to be cal💦m in difficu𝓀lt situations. It's not an excuse, but I had some bad luck because I put the rear tyre on the green and there was a wet patch.
“But this kind of mis🎀take cannot happen in the first lap of a qualifying. It’s not good for me or the team.”

“I have to come back with a fresh mentality”
Now in his fourth MotoGP season, and third on an Aprili♒a, Fernandez accepts he needs to ‘come back with a fresh mentality’.
“I have to think about a solution to come back with a fresh mentality as I’m putting a lot of pressure on myself and ꦏI should finꦛd something to help myself,” he said.
🍸“This year I have the bike, I have the t๊eam, I have the experience. Maybe the ambition doesn't help me.”
Fernandez, who will continue working with a sports psychologist, dismissed suggestions that 🐻pressure from rookie team-mate🎃 Ai Ogura and fellow Aprilia newcomer Marco Bezzecchi was affecting him.
“I🍷t’✨s not because Ogura is doing a good job, or Marco, or maybe Jorge [Martin] when he comes back," he said.
"It's just because I want to show to myself, not to someone else, that I am here 🅘and I can do it.
“I need to work, but it is൲ nothing about 𓆉the bike.”
While Fernandez sits 18t🃏h in the world championship with five points, Ogura - despite a disqualification in Argentina - holds sixth with 25 points, while Bezzecchi is eighth with 24.
In terms of crashes this season, Be🥂zzecchi and Honda's Joan Mir have hit the ground most with five falls each. Pedro Acosta, Fermin Aldeguer and Johann Zarco have three with Fernandez, Ogura, Marc Marquez🔯 and Jack Miller on two each.
Reigning champion Jorge Martin🎃 is aiming to make his Aprilia debut at the next round in Qatar.
