After two years with Aprilia, riding RS-GP 2022 and RS-GP 2024 in the current season, Miguel Oliveira has no doubt that today he is a ‘technically different’ rider to the one he used to have with KTM and the RC16, with this teaching and ability to adapt to be the best takeaway from his adventure with the Italian manufacturer.
After this Solidarity GP, his last with Aprilia, Oliveira is free to ride with his future team this Tuesday, but before and after having highlighted his ability to adapt, something he learned and became more noticeable during the transition from KTM, for the Noale manufacturer, considers this to be the greatest ‘gift’ it brings from the manufacturer, and which, it believes, will be an added value for it.
Asked about the best thing he takes away from these two years with the RS-GP, Oliveira said it is exactly the ability to adapt to a new bike:
– Technically I am a different rider and I ride differently than what I did two years ago and I believe that this will be useful for me especially because I was able to adapt and that is the most important thing.
And this is decisive since from this Tuesday Oliveira will have his first contact with the new team, Pramac Racing, and a bike with an in-line engine and not a V4, something he was more used to.
