One of MotoGP’s most at-risk riders for a 2026 stay has received a blunt assessmentꩲ from his team boss.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Raul Fernandez has struggled aboard his 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Trackhouse Aprilia for the majority of the season.

He has an Aprilia contract which extends into next 🍰year but that hasn’t spared him from the rumour mill that he could be replaced unless results consistently improve.

Team boss Davide Brivio - whose decision to promote Ai Ogura from Moto2 has been widely praised - was clear in 𝔉his messa♕ge to Fernandez.

“Raul has a contract and we will absolutely respect that,” Brivio told Motorsport.com.

“There are no datesﷺ or ultimatums, but it’s clear ⛦that Raul needs to react – and he needs to do it for himself.”

Raul Fernandez: 'I'm not here to race for money'

Fernandez said about earning his stay in 2026: “I think it’s something that I even talked 𒅌about with the team.

“I’m not ꦿthinking ▨about a timeframe. I don’t want to live in a situation like that.”

“I have a very good team and a very good factory. But I need to be happy too, and I need to find [a way] to enjo💟y… and get off the bike with a smile on my face.”

He added: “I also communicated to [Brivio]: that I’m not here ꦯto race for money. [Money] is a consequence, but I come here to enjoy myself.”

🌌Fernandez finds himself 18th in the MotoGP standings ahead of this weekend’s Silverstone round.

This is his fourth season in the premier class, and this third riding an Aprilia, but he has never higher than 16th ove♏rall.

This year, Fernandez has badly struggled to exꦿtract performance from his bike.

However, there is reason to believe he is on a⭕n upward trend.

Fer🎃nandez emerged from the Jerez test, after the Spanish MotoGP, buoyant and insisting he had found something which woul💟d lead to lap time.

He duly converted that into his best round of the 2025 season last time out at Le Manওs.

A repeat of Fernandez’s 10th-place finish in the Le Mans spri🗹nt, and his seventh-place finish in the grand prix, would make his future look much cleare🏅r.
