Mugello was not an easy weekend for rookie Augusto Fernandez, but he still managed to be in the points with his fifteenth place on Sunday, meaning that he remains amongst the very few riders of the grid to have scored points in each round this season. The 3.671 km-long layout and its numerous tight corners (ten left and three right) make it one of the slowest tracks of the calendar, and is one circuit from which the GASGAS Tech3 rider will have found memories from, having won the edition in Moto2™ last season with a 7.704 seconds gap on runner-up Pedro Acosta.

Alongside him, Jonas Folger will step in again for GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3 with Pol Espargaro still waiting for the green lights from the doctors to return to racing. Jonas will be pleased to be given the opportunity to race again on his home turf, a great honour for the German who will have found memories from the Germany layout, where he took his maiden podium in MotoGP™ in his rookie season back in 2017, taking the second position just 3.310 seconds behind Sachsenring king Marc Marquez.

You are in for a threat again for the second week in a row, with Fernandez aiming to continue his progression and Folger returning to his home turf at the German Grand Prix. The action will start on Friday with Practice 1 at 10:45 local time (GMT+2) for forty-five minutes, which will be followed in the afternoon with Practice 2 at 15:00, for an hour. The first highlights of the week not to miss will be on Saturday with the qualifying sessions starting at 10:50, just shortly after the usual Free Practice. If races at the short Sachsenring are entertaining to watch, wait for the Tissot Sprint at 15:00 on Saturday afternoon, it could be one not to miss out on! Finally, after ten minutes of warm up in the morning, Sunday will see the main race start at 14:00 local time. Let’s get on the gas team!
