Yamaha is pleased to confirm that Augusto Fernández and the Yamaha Factory Racing Team will take part in the Grand Prix of Spain race weekend as a wild-card entry with the aim of data gathering for bike development.

Fernández, who is the 2022 Moto2 World Champion and a former premier-class rider (2023-2024), already joined the full-time Yamaha teams at the preseason tests. He is highly motivated to continue his endeavours with the Yamaha Factory Racing Team this weekend at the track where he scored a best result of third place in Moto2 in 2019. His best premier-class result in Jerez is the 13th position he scored in 2023.

The Circuito de Jerez was built in 1986 and has hosted one of the most popular MotoGP events of the season ever since. Blessed with good weather, beautiful scenery, fast corners, hard braking areas, and a natural amphitheatre, the 4.42km Jerez circuit offers spectators a great view of the thrilling racing action that takes place there.
