168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Augusto Fernandez didn’t attempt to sugar-coat a ‘slow’ Qatar MotoGP season opener, which the GASGAS Tech3 rider concluded with 17t🅘h place in the Sunday race.

The Spaniard, starting his second premier-class campaign, hasn’t been comfortable since switching to th🍌e 2024-spec RC16, including a carbon fibre frame.

Fernandez said Sunday was theꦬ best he has felt so far, but confessed he’s “still in a big hole”.

“It's been a difficult one since the begi༒nning of the pre-season, a tough one,” Fernandez told TNT Sports. “I'm struggling a lot with the new bike. We don't really know why. But I'm slow.

“But we've been working so hard and trying to find the base which I feel comfortable with riding 𒊎and today is the best I've f🧸elt during all the pre-season.

“Still far, but ⛄at least I was fighting for something [points].”

The🦩 26-year-old, who has been overshadowed by new rookie team-mate Pedro Acos♔ta, added:

“A𓃲t the end of last year, I was fighting for good things, n𝓰ot podiums, but the speed was there.

🌸“Somehow I miss something now with this new bike, but the potential is there because we see Brad, and൩ Pedro, they are going so fast.

“I need to find my base, something t🎐hat I can ride comfortably and get ♏the feeling back.

“We have to take the positives and today I'm smiling even though I've finished 17th๊!

“This pre-season has been one of the toughes🎀t of my life. I'm still in a big hole, I have🔥 to say. 

"But the team is with me, the [KTM] bosses are ♋with me and we are working very hard.

“So it's a matter of time and I really🍰 believe that we're going to be back up there.”

Acosta ran as high as fourth before fading to ninth place 🎃꧂in the Qatar MotoGP.

Factory KTM star Brad Binder finished in second place while team-mate Jaꦆck Miller was 21st and last after an early fall.

Fernandez, who 🦂was 15th in last November's Qatar Grand Prix, took a best fin𒀰ish of fourth during his rookie season.
