Augusto Fernandez looks set to join an expanded Yamaha MotoGP test team in 2025.
Without a seat at Tech3 KTM next year, former Moto2 champion Fernandez’s full-time future in the premier class looks bleak.Crutchlow was recently replaced by Yamaha World Superbike rider and former MotoGP racer Remy Gardner for two MotoGP appearances, in place of Alex Rins in Germany and as a wild-card at Silverstone.
"With four Yamahas next year for sure if he's riding fast, he has the possibility to come back also in the championship," Quartararo said."So I think this is really important to find the rider that really wants to come back and give some proper information." "The first thing that came into my mind was like retirement, no? But then thinking, it's the best opportunity to get back into this paddock, more than going to World Superbike," said the 26-year-old."Aleix hit the peak of his career quite old, and a lot of riders did the same. So I'm not done yet, that's for sure.
