Miguel Oliveira achieved a top ten finish in the Portuguese MotoGP Grand Prix. After a difficult start to the season and a weekend that was not easy in Portimão, the Trackhouse Racing rider crossed the finish line of Sunday’s race in ninth place, after some twists and turns in the final stages of the race.
Good start for the “Falcon”, who flew from 15th to 11th on the first lap, getting involved in the fight for the top ten from the start. Ahead of him was Álex Rins (Monster Energy Yamaha), with a not very different pace in the early stages of the race.
Despite the closeness between the riders in that part of the pack, Oliveira remained in 11th place until overtaking Rins on lap 6. The Spaniard would also lose position to Marco Bezzecchi (Pertamina Enduro VR46/Ducati) – who thus continued to be Oliveira’s main pursuer.
