I am looking forward to Friday at the Sepang Test.” Team manager Nicolas Goyon added: “Augusto Fernandez reunited with his bike here in Sepang after the first test in Valencia back in November. These three days of Shakedown Test were really constructive, although the weather was not helpful. “The positive is that he was able to ride already in a lot of different conditions, which is crucial for a rookie: he rode in wet tyres on full wet track, in wet tyres on a drying track, in slick tyres on a mixed track, and of course in slicks on a dry track. Related Sepang MotoGP Shakedown Test results – Day 3 (FINAL) Is MotoGP’s only rookie already under threat from a teenage superstar?“The third day was the most intense day as it was fully dry, and he did some very interesting lap times.  He did not at all, which means that we have a good margin to improve. “He has a very good attitude, his comments are positive and constructive, so everyone in the box and at the Pierer Mobility Group is happy with him. We look forward to continuing the work with Augusto on Friday for the Sepang Test.”
