At the CIV Racing Night held at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli on July 27, 2025, American rider Jayden Fernandez continued to impress in the Aprilia RS 660 Trophy, following up on his debut win earlier in the season.

Jayden Fernandez:

“The race had a great start to it with me getting a great launch and positioning myself into second into turn 1 from 5th on the grid. From there I tried my best to stay with the leader but wasn’t making enough progress to catch up to him so the gap of about a second or so stayed stagnant, then another rider passed me into turn 2 in the beginning of the second lap. I tried to use this rider as a good measure to catch up to the front but couldn’t find the pace to do so. For most of the race I was around a second off of the first two guys up until the second or third to last lap where me and my teammate started to battle for third overall. On the last lap I did my best to keep him behind me but I ended up making a little mistake off the back straight and blew the turn. This allowed the fight to continue all the way to the line where I unfortunately lost out by 0.012 of a second. In the end it was a fun race to battle in and also quite a difficult race for me on the front end. We still have the lead in the championship and we will learn from this race and apply it to Imola. If my difficult weekends means 3rd place I think that’s pretty good! Thanks to the whole team for their hard work and support this weekend and hopefully we keep this podium streak going in Imola!”
