Trackhouse has confirmed the renewal of contract with Raul Fernandez for the 2027 and 2028 MotoGP seasons after a prolonged negotiation period. The two parties agreed on a two-season deal, despite Trackhouse's initial preference for a more flexible arrangement. Marks, the team owner, expressed delight at Fernandez's commitment to the team's vision and objectives.
Fernandez joined MotoGP in 2022, following a stellar Moto2 season with eight wins, seven pole positions, and twelve podium finishes. However, he struggled in his debut MotoGP season, ultimately leaving to join Aprilia's RNF satellite team. Trackhouse's acquisition of the team saw Fernandez return for his third season with the American outfit.
Last season, he secured his first victory at the Australian Grand Prix and finished the year with three podium finishes. In 2027, he will partner Enea Bastianini, who moved to Trackhouse after leaving the struggling Austrian manufacturer.
