The Yamaha Factory Racing Team had planned on using the dry Grand Prix of Czechia Saturday to collect further data and analyse prototype parts. Augusto Fernández was riding competitively in the opening stages of the Sprint, but an unfortunate crash ended his mission.
Fernández commenced from P22. He made up some positions in the opening lap but ran wide and then slotted into 21st place. He was keen to keep riding in the group, but his challenge faltered when he crashed going into Turn 3 on lap 2, taking Takaaki Nakagami with him. Though the Spaniard was unhurt, he was unable to rejoin the Sprint. He looks forward to trying again tomorrow.
The Yamaha Factory Racing Team will be back in action tomorrow for Warm Up, held from 09:40-09:50 (GMT+2), and the 21-lap Race, which starts at 14:00.
