With the majority of tﷺhe MotoGP grid into the final year of their current contracts,🍒 a major reshuffle could take place for 2025.

While many riders will eagerly dream of a much bett꧂er bike or a new team, others will simply be desperately hoping to stay put.

Augusto Ferna♎ndez admits the harsh reality of trying to maintain his place in the premier class amid such intense competition.

The Tech3 GASGAS rider was the Moto2 champion in 202🐓2 and is ꦦnow into his second season in MotoGP.

But his teammate this year is the incredible Pedro Acosta who is receiv𓆏ing rave r🦩eviews.

Fꦚernandez, meanwhile, finished 17th in Qatar and 11th in Portugal.

He told about receiving a new contract for next year: "Of cours๊e, there is no need to fool yourself here.

“If yღou don't have speed and you don't run, no🍬 help will come and next year there will be no contract.

“It is clear that it is a decisive year and you have to hurry up to be there🍸.

“I am the first one who does🌌n't wanಞt to be so far behind.”

Fernandez knows that KTM haven’t been ๊shy in axing riders in the past in pursuit of excellence.

The rise of Acosta means that his Tech3 teammate Fernandez will also r♎eceive parts from the factory KTM team that he might not have enjoyed൩ last year.

But, on paper and in the results column, Fernandez is the lowest priorityꦜ of KTM’s four riders.

"It's a difficult moment," he admitted.

"It's my second year and it's🌳 hard for me to admit it, but it's like starting from🅺 scratch.

“We're half a second away from being in t𒆙he top 10 and we're going to start there, work to get closer to the points and build from there."
