Raul Fernandez was left disappointed with himself after a ‘rookie mistake’ early on at the Portuguese MotoGP.
With points to be had following a raft of early and late crashes, Fernandez instead committed his own mistake which left him furious with himself.“I’m lucky that I’m ok,” said Fernandez. “It was honestly a very stupid crash, a rookie mistake. During the track walk I told my crew chief that you need to be calm in this corner when you get a bit offline and I actually didn’t manage to do that.
“I saw we had the pace, I was closing and I was there but I made the mistake. I would like to say sorry to the team. Oliveira said: “It was what I could do. The opening lap and the first few corners have been quite ok. “But unfortunately, when Bezzecchi overtook me in the first corner, he took me a little bit wide and I had to stop the bike and go around the whole turn one and two, where I lost three positions.
