Raul Fernandez signs two-year deal with Trackhouse

The Trackhouse Racing team has confirmed that rider Raul Fernandez will remain with the American MotoGP squad for the 2027 and 2028 seasons, ending months of speculation about his future. The announcement was made on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, securing the 25-year-old Spaniard's place on the Aprilia-supported team.

Team owner Justin Marks stated that Fernandez has shown total commitment to the team's mission and has grown significantly as a rider both on the bike and in his overall preparation and maturity. Marks expressed confidence that the team and its bikes are poised to be consistent championship contenders and that Fernandez can help achieve great milestones in the sport.

Fernandez's renewal follows protracted negotiations, with the rider reportedly seeking the security of a two-year deal while the team initially preferred a more flexible arrangement. His future had been uncertain earlier in the season, with rumors linking him to a potential return to the Tech3 KTM team, where he endured a difficult rookie campaign in 2022. The confirmation provides stability for a career that has seen notable highs and challenging lows.
