The Yamaha Factory Racing Team used the Grand Prix of San Marino Sunday to collect more valuable dry-track data at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. Wild-card entry Augusto Fern\u00e1ndez completed the 27-lap MotoGP Race and rode the V4-Powered Prototype to a 14th place across the finish line.<\/p>\n
Misano Adriatico (Italy), 14 September 2025<\/p>\n
The Yamaha Factory Racing Team completed their San Marino GP V4-Powered Prototype testing programme in today’s MotoGP Race at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. Though the goal was to gather data over a full race distance, the team wrote history. Wild-card entry Augusto Fern\u00e1ndez wrapped up the 27-lap contest in 14th place, scoring two points in the Yamaha V4-Powered Prototype’s first ever full-length MotoGP Race.<\/p>\n
Augusto Fern\u00e1ndez started from P22 and climbed as high as 19th early on, but he soon received a double long-lap penalty for a jump start. This made the Misano Race a less exciting ride for him overall, but the wild card kept busy by focusing on gathering good data for bike development purposes and analysing the sensations on the new bike. Though Somkiat Chantra came charging in the final stages, Augusto Fern\u00e1ndez had enough left in the tank to hold his position to the finish line. With seven riders failing to make it to the chequered flag overall, he crossed the finish line in 14th place, 1’01.504s from first.<\/p>\n
Today’s results see Augusto Fern\u00e1ndez in joint-24th place in the championship standings with 8 points, and Yamaha is in 5th position in the constructor championship with 168 points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Yamaha Factory Racing Team used the Grand Prix of San Marino Sunday to collect more valuable dry-track…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":144332,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-144331","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-motosport","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-motor","11":"tag-motor-sports","12":"tag-motosport","13":"tag-motosports","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=144331"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144331\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/144332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=144331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=144331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=144331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
