Raul Fernandes admits he doesn’t understand ‘how and why’ he was fastest

Raul Fernandez (Aprilia RS-GP), recognized as follows. I didn’t really understand why it became faster.but he said, “I was happy because I had been riding so fast since the morning and it didn’t matter what tires, temperature, road conditions, whether it was clean or dirty. I don’t understand that.”

“It’s important to end a day like this.”Finishing the season and achieving something like this is important for the team, for Aprilia and for me, but above all we need to understand why we did it,” insisted Raul Fernández.

“We come from the Sepang circuit in Malaysia, where we performed very well during pre-season, but then the Grand Prix was very difficult for all of us, but this is a circuit that more or less works well for us. .It was a pleasant surprise, but we have to understand that, because if we want to do something good at Aprilia one day, we have to be strong where we are weak now,” he admitted.

“We had to keep working as we were and it had to arrive. I have a lot of faith in Aprilia among all my bosses and teams, but I keep asking them for more help for next year, but they are not happy with what happened in Sepang (they had to retire). It seems that they are doing this in response to the following. I hope the situation will change next year,” said Raul Fernandes.

“We are not here to win the World Cup, we are far from winning the World Cup, but we are here to always maintain our place.”, not like today, this is also not real, but it is in the top 10. That is the goal for next year and we are working on it from Misano,” he says without hesitation.

Regarding Ducati’s rivals, he said: “Today they were far away, tomorrow they will be far away, but if we work smart I think we can also take a step forward. As far as we’ve been concerned, it’s time for Aprilia to be ready.” When a bike works, you need to emphasize its racing.
