Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 pulled the curtain down for 2024 with a fast-paced and action-packed performance by Pedro Acosta to claim 10th position at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. The Spaniard grabbed six points to end his rookie season with 6th in the championship and a total of nine podiums between Grands Prix and Sprints. Teammate Augusto Fernández was 19th for round twenty.
Augusto Fernández battles for the most effective grip during the 24-laps and finishes his second year in the premier class with 19th and 20th in the standings.
A special late autumn light shone down on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for the finale of 2024 MotoGP and the Solidarity Grand Prix of Barcelona: the twentieth round of the world championship campaign. Pedro Acosta and Augusto Fernández faced the last 24-laps of a long term by starting from 6th and 21st positions on the grid and in full knowledge that tire-wear and preservation would be critical around the slippery 4.6km layout.
AF37 tried a set-up adjustment for the race and his last outing with the team in the pursuit of more adhesion and a better feeling. Augusto reached a highest position of 14th before then managing his speed to take 19th. He ended 2024 with seven points-scoring outings and 20th in the list.
Augusto Fernández:
“A hard day. We expected a bit better after warm-up because we’d worked a lot to turn things around and I had a good start but when it came time to make the pace I just didn’t have it. A strange feeling all race with the lack of grip. I’m looking forward now to what will come with my future.”
