From Montmelo in the outskirts of Barcelona in Spain, to the beautiful countryside of Tuscany in Italy, Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 is already settling down at the iconic Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello for the first back-to-back races of the season, the Gran Premio d’Italia Brembo. Pedro Acosta and Augusto Fernandez will be eager for a new race week after their Catalan Grand Prix did not end as they had wished, with Acosta taking P13 and Fernandez unable to finish the race.
The twenty year-old MotoGP™ rookie, Pedro Acosta will face another layout to discover for the first time in the premier class, but as a boost of confidence, he will have his results from the past, after the young Spaniard won both 2022 and 2023 editions in Moto2™, having qualified both years on the first row. To that, we will add the fact that the Gran Premi de Catalunya was probably one of the best weekend of the rookie this season so far, after he was fast and competitive from the Friday morning, taking P3 of the Sprint, all the way until Sunday’s race, during which we saw him being a real threat for the win, until he crashed. The Pierer Mobility bikes had decent results last season at Mugello, and all of this gathered lets us think that it can be another good weekend for the Shark of Mazarron.
Augusto Fernandez’ crash in the race on Sunday left him with a feeling of unachievement, after the number 37’s timesheets were healthier than the previous rounds. The feeling on the bike has been coming back, and it has allowed Fernandez to feel more confident on the bike, but somehow the progress made has still not been reflected on the races’ results, something we hope Augusto Fernandez will be able to change this weekend, as he still targets his first top 10 result of the season.
Don’t miss a second of the Gran Premio d’Italia Brembo as Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 boys will start their Italian campaign on Friday with Free Practice 1 at 10:45 local time (GMT+2) for forty-five minutes, which will be followed in the afternoon with Practice at 15:00, for an hour. Super Saturday in the hills will see Pedro Acosta and Augusto Fernandez begin the day with Free Practice 2 at 10:10, which will be followed immediately by the qualifying sessions at 10:50. In the afternoon, the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello will host the seventh Tissot Sprint of the season, at 15:00. 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!
