Raul Fernandez is a junior world champion motorcycle rider from Spain currently competing in MotoGP, so here is everything you need to know about him.

After starting racing from the age of 11 years old, Fernandez had a rapid ascent from racing in the regional championships including the Cuna de Campeones, PreMoto3, then into the FIM CEV series.

In 2016 he finished third overall in the MotoGP Rookies Cup, taking two victories and six podiums. After making the switch to the Moto3 Junior World Championship in 2017, he won the title the following year with three victories, six podiums and amassing 209 points.

During this period he also made wildcard appearances and replacement rides at Catalunya, Germany, Aragon, and Valencia races at Grand Prix level.

Raul Fernandez’s breakout 2020 season

In 2019 Fernandez would make the switch full-time to the Moto3 World Championship, finishing regularly in the top 10 places.

His breakout year would come in 2020, with Fernandez regularly qualifying on pole after setting blistering lap times racing for the Angel Nieto Team. He achieved a first podium at Aragon, before following up with a maiden victory at the European Grand Prix.

Fernandez would follow this up with podiums in Valencia and Portimao, ending the season fourth just 16 points off the title winner Albert Arenas.

Raul Fernandez becomes the most successful Moto2 rookie of all time

After an impressive Moto3 campaign, he would make the step up to Moto2 with Red Bull KTM Ajo and go on to achieve one of the most successful rookie seasons in the championship’s history.

Fernandez achieved eight victories and was in a title showdown with Remy Gardner. However, after a crash with three rounds to go in Misano, he ended up having to settle for second place on 307 points to Gardner’s 311 points.

The consolation for Fernandez was the fact that he smashed the win record previously held by Marc Marquez.

Fernandez made his MotoGP debut in 2022 with Tech3 KTM Racing, although the difficult KTM RC16 proved to be a struggle for the Spaniard with just six finishes in the points. He would switch RNF Aprilia for 2023, where things improved in the second half of the season.

In 2024 he would continue with Aprilia, achieving a best finishing position of sixth at the Catalan Grand Prix following another season of mixed fortunes. In 2025 he makes the switch to Trackhouse Racing, where he hopes to regularly finish inside the top 10 places.
