The RNF satellite rider, along with teammate Miguel Oliveira and Aprilia factory duo Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales, is contra♎cted for next year.

But Fernandez has now been linked with a drop back to Moto2, which woul🌞d open up a premi🤪er class bike for next year.

report that Fernandez and Fabio di Giannantonio ar🎀e the leading contenders to join Team Fantic in Moto2 for 2🦄024.

However, Aprilia told l♎txcn.top at the Catalunya MotoGP that they plan to retain Fernandez for 2024.

The Team Fantic seat would open up if Celestino Vietti moves to Team Re🅠d Bull KTM Ajo.

Claims have “further materialised in the last hours” that Vietti could make the switch, and Team Red Bull KTM Ajo “are increasingly certain” of securing his services, the report 🐭states.

Vietti views the move as the next step in securing a MotoGP seat 🌸for 2025, it is claimed.

That means his💞 current seat at Team Fantic could be taken by whichever current MotoGP rider loses his bike.

Di Giannantonio🎉 of Gresini Racing has long been linked with an exit, with a host of contenders coveting his Ducati.

But Fernandez is not been expected to vaca🔯te his premier cla🍬ss seat.

He sits 20th in the MotoGP standi💦ngs - the only full-time riders lower than him are Pol Espargaro (who ha𒀰s only competed in two rounds) and Joan Mir.
