The MotoGP test day in Misano was the first chance Miguel Oliveira had to ride the latest Aprilia bike – as his team, the CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP Team, only has access to the 2022 bike.
Asked by the press if he felt a good level of support from the Noale manufacturer, the Portuguese rider assured that was the case on this test day and overall:
– Yes, they are trying their best, for sure, to help us progress with the available material. It’s not easy because of logistics, but they are doing their best. Overall, it was a good day; I didn’t push for lap times, managed to do the same lap time as in qualifying with soft tires. I’m really pleased with how the day went.
Regarding whether it will be impossible to have the same factory team bike in 2024, Oliveira explained that he doesn’t have an answer: ‘I can’t answer that, to be honest. I would love to, for sure, but it’s something on Aprilia’s side, not mine. We will do our best‘.
