Who is Phillip Island winner Raul Fernández and why have his four seasons in MotoGP been so complicated?
When Raúl Fernández graduated to MotoGP in 2022, many paddock people (including, I suspect, the man himself) thought he might be the next Marc Márquez. After all, he had broken Márquez's rookie Moto2 victory and podium records the previous season.
He certainly has the talent, but talent isn't the deciding factor that some people think it is, because many talented riders don't make it in this sport, because talent is nothing without gritty determination and a pitiless work ethic.
Sure enough, Fernández was in trouble when he climbed aboard a MotoGP bike. He hit his head so hard in a massive crash during 2022 pre-season testing at Mandalika that his head was visibly bruised.
