Augusto Fernandez is set to return to the MotoGP grid this weekend, with the Spaniard making his fourth wildcard appearance of the 2026 season for Yamaha at the British Grand Prix.
The 2022 Moto2 world champion has already raced at Jerez, Barcelona and Assen this season as part of Yamaha’s test programme. He has collected five points from those appearances, finishing 12th at the Catalan Grand Prix and 15th in the Netherlands.
Fernandez will now get another opportunity to compete at Silverstone, a circuit where he has enjoyed considerable success in Moto2. He won at the British track in 2019 before claiming another victory there in 2022 on his way to the Moto2 world title.
