168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Raul Fernandez is keeping a lid on his expectations ahead of an upgrade to the 2024 Aprilia RS-GP from the next MotoGP round at Silverstone.

The Trackhouse rider has been the only 🍬Aprilia competitor left on the 2023-s♏pec machine this season.

But tha🀅t hasn’t stopped hi🐎m from qualifying on the front row twice, in Catalunya and Germany.

Barcelona saw Fernandez fall from the lead of the Sprint, then claim sixth in the ra🔴ce, but his strong qualifying coun𝓀ted for far less at the Sachsenring.

Rising front tyre pressure saw Fer𒊎nandez drop to 14th in the Sprint, before completing his final race on the RS-GP23 with tenth in the grand prix.

“There was a mistake… For some reason it was not the correct pressure to get the maximum potential of the tyre,” Fernandez said on Saturday evening. “But we are a teaꦿm, we win or lose together and also they gave me a good bike to qualify on the front row.”

But re🌞ar tyre grip proved the limiting factor in the 💙grand prix.

“For the first 15 laps I was there, fighting with all the Ducati🧔s and Miguel,🍎” said Fernandez, who was directly behind Oliveira in eighth during the middle stages.

“But the last 15 laps to the end I had a lot of🌼 problem with the tyre. It is also 🌳[to do with] the [2023] bike. The pace was quite slow. But anyway, I did the maximum and we finished the top ten.

“I had a nice fight with Pedro, Brad and Marco. But I didn’t have anything to tr🥀y to overtake them. But always when you fight with the people like them you alwaysꦬ can improve.”

Fernandez n൩ow looks to the future and a ♑race debut on the 2024 RS-GP.

Although his engine spec will be unchanged, due to the homologation rules, Fernandez (like Oliveira) is expected to receive a newꦛ 2024 mid-season aero update for the 𒁏British GP.

But performance-wise, he doesn’t expect a nigh🅷t-and-day difference.

“It is not one second faster,” Fernandez said of the ’24 bike, which he briefly tried a♔t the Jerez test in April. "But maybe when we had to save the tyre, with the new bike it's easier.

“I tried it in just one test for two runs, so I don't know what I can 🥀expect. [But] surely, if Aprilia have this new bike it’s because they saw something positive.

“Also the lap times co🐻mpared with last year are quite strong. So yeah, I believe that the [new] bike is a little bit better [but] for sure it’s not one second faster.”

Oliveira’s stro🍨ng Sachsenring weekend means he has now leapfrogged ahead of Fernandez for 13th in the riders’ standings. Both are yet to sign for 202꧋5.
