One of MotoGP’s most at-risk riders for a 2026 stay has rec𒊎eived a blunt assessment 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 ha꧃sn’t spared him from the rumour mill that he ꧑could be replaced unless results consistently improve.

Team boss Davide Brivio - whose ꧙decision to promote Ai Ogura from Moto2 has been widely praised - was clear in his message to Fernandez.

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

“There areꦐ no dates 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 about with the team.

“I’m n⭕ot 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 enjoy… and get off t🎃he bike with a smile on my face.”

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

Fernandez finds himself 18th in the MotoGP stꦿandings 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 neve🍸🔴r higher than 16th overall.

This year, Fernandez has badly struggled t👍o extract performanc⛄e from his bike.

However, there is reason t꧂🌟o believe he is on an upward trend.

Fernandez emerged from the Jerez test, after the Spanish MotoGP, buoyant and in🐓sisting he had found something which would l🥃ead to lap time.

He duly converted that i༒nto his best round of the 2025 season last time out at Le Mans.

A repeat of Fernandez’s 10th-place finish in the Le Mans sprint, and his seventh-place finish in the gr♎and prix, would make his futu♉re look much clearer.
