Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 departed the cool, grey climes of Silverstone and a noteworthy British Grand Prix. The crew took part in a strategic and intense tenth round of the season that also marked the 75th anniversary of the FIM MotoGP series and saw the field adopt retro liveries in commemoration. Augusto Fernández rode his special, white GASGAS RC16 to 17th.
Augusto tackles the long 18-cornered 5.9km layout and manages 17th by the end of the 20-lap affair.
The MotoGP grid swapped-out GASGAS ‘red’ for the British Grand Prix today but the Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 crew still brought the skills and the thrills to the first fixture after the summer break. Silverstone was notable for the dedications to the sport’s 75th ‘birthday’ both in the pit boxes and away from the asphalt and at a circuit that first hosted a GP in 1977.
With 15 points AF37 sits 17th as 2024 MotoGP has now logged half a season of the current calendar. Up next is another dance with history and the spectacular setting of the Red Bull Ring and the Austrian Grand Prix in two weeks.
Augusto Fernández:
“One of the hardest races. The tire drop arrived and I felt it every corner! I could see other bikes struggling but it was very, very tough to make it to the end. I’d been struggling with rear grip all weekend. I hope better tracks will come. Austria is completely different, we’ll see there.”
