Augusto Fernández, crowned Junior European Champion in 2014, competed in the Superstock 600, where he achieved a victory in the 2015 season. Fifth in the FIM CEV Repsol Moto2™ the following year, the Madrid-born Balearic rider began his 2017 season with a new podium, before being summoned by Speed ​​Up to take his first steps in the Moto2™ Championship, starting at the 2017 Italian GP. Despite the 6 points scored, he did not find a motorcycle for 2018 and therefore returned to the FIM CEV Repsol Moto2™. However, the Pons HP 40 turned to him, during the Catalan GP, ​​to replace Héctor Barberá. The Spaniard finished inside the top 8 three times, and even came close to the podium at the Japanese GP.

The 2019 campaign was his big turning point, despite an initial injury that cost him in Argentina and Austin, a first podium at Jerez was followed by another at Le Mans, with a first victory at Assen. Two more victories followed as a title challenge loomed, but no podiums in the past six races left him out of the fight. For 2020 he started as one of the favourites in the title fight after filling the vacancy left by Álex Márquez at EG 0,0 Marc VDS. However, his performance was not as expected and he was 13th overall. No victories came in 2021 either but we did see him return to form in the latter half of the season, taking six podiums in the final nine races. That form was enough for him to earn a seat for 2022 at Red Bull KTM Ajo, whose faith he rewarded with a campaign which yielded four race wins and saw him crowned World Champion after finishing second to teammate Pedro Acosta in the finale at Valencia. Fernandez's debut premier class season was a success, with P4 at the French GP the highlight. Continuing with GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3 in 2024, Fernandez will aim to claim a first podium - at least - in his sophomore season.
