Fermin Aldeguer is one of the great promises of Spanish motorcycling and MotoGP. The Spanish rider failed to meet expectations at the start of this season, after surprising everyone and everything last season. With his surprising performance in 2023, Fermin signed a two-season contract with Ducati, where he will move up to the premier class.
Speaking on the podcast ‘La Fórmula del Éxito’, he spoke about his intentions for this Moto2 season and his physical and mental work.
– The real dream is to become Champion; not only in Moto2, but also in MotoGP. And we are getting closer and closer. The champion is the one who has the most discipline. Obviously, talent helps more, but you have to work at it. Ultimately, you have to work. You have to be mentally stable and know how to think on the bike. There are many times when we get scared, for example when we see another rider fall. But we also have a lot of respect for turning the same corner again after a fall. Most of the time, when we are on a motorbike, we do things instinctively
He added about the support his family always gave him despite his financial difficulties: ‘When I was little, I didn’t realise, it was like a hobby. But when I turned twelve or thirteen, the value of money mattered a lot; there was a moment when the team told me: ‘A sponsor has withdrawn, we can’t continue racing. The only option is to win.
