With the majority of the MotoGP grid into the final year of their current contracts, a major reshuffle could take place for ꧅2025.

While many riders will eagerly dream of a much better bike or a new team, others will si🐓mply be desperately❀ hoping to stay put.

Augusto Fernandez admits the harsh reality of trying to maintain his place in the pr⭕emier class amid such intense comp🅰etition.

The Tech3 GASGAS rid▨er was the Moto2 champion in 2022ℱ and is now into his second season in MotoGP.

But his teammate this year is theཧ incredible Pedro Acosta who is rec🎐eiving rave reviews.

Fernandez, meanwhile, finished 🐎17th in Qata💮r and 11th in Portugal.

He told about recei🧸🤪ving a new contract for next year: "Of course, there is no need to fool yourself here.

“If you don't have speed and yꦿou don't run, no help will come and next year there will be no contract.

“It is ꦦclear th🍸at it is a decisive year and you have to hurry up to be there.

“I am the first🍰 one who doesn't want 🥀to be so far behind.”

Fernandez knows that KTM haven’t ♋been shy in axing riders in the past in pursuit of excellence♉.

The rise of Acosta means th🦹at his Tech3 teammate Fernandez will also receiv🐽e parts from the factory KTM team that he might not have enjoyed last year.

But, on paper and in the results column, 𝓰Fernandez is the lowest priority of KTM’s four r🐲iders.

"It's a difficult moment," he admitted.

"It's my second year and it's hard for me to admit it, but it's like starting fr▨om scratc🎉h.

“We're half a second away from being in the top ꧑10 and we're going to start there, work to get closer to the points and build from there."
