Miguel Oliveira and Aprilia, in general, have not had an easy time in recent rounds and even today – just like throughout the weekend – in the Malaysian GP, the problems were very evident, especially between the CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP Team, and the Portuguese rider warned about the need for the manufacturer to be closer to the satellite team.
With last year’s version at his disposal, which has revealed many problems recently, Oliveira was asked about the need to see Aprilia closer and did not hesitate to emphasize the importance of that: ‘Yes, it’s the support. At the end of the day, we are racing with 2022 material, that’s it. It’s material that’s a year old, with some recycled things.’
Although he understands some difficulties in providing the best support in different aspects, Oliveira believes that more is needed:
– But yes, I believe that Aprilia is doing everything they can, with the resources they have, to provide the best material and support they can. Of course, we would like more, but it seems that at the moment it’s the best they can do and I hope we can improve that in the future, and that’s why we’re here: we trust them, they trust us. We also have to, in this difficult time for them to support us, give this word of confidence to the manufacturer with the hope that they support us a little more.
