Miguel Oliveira is in his sixth season in the MotoGP World Championship. Although he has already shown that he has the ability to win races – he has five victories – he has not yet done so consistently. This year he is with Trackhouse Racing and rides an Aprilia RS-GP, which has proven to be one of the bikes with the most potential.
The Portuguese told journalist Pedro Pinto on the podcast 1 PARA 1 that he is determined to be world champion and is with one of the strongest manufacturers today:
– My goal is to be world champion, that is clear to me. I need to have the conditions of the bike. The bike at the moment… I think there are three manufacturers quite competitive in the championship right now: one is Ducati, the other is KTM, and the other is Aprilia. I am with one of these three great manufacturers that are currently the most competitive.
In Oliveira’s opinion, there are aspects that can be improved, and some luck is also necessary: ‘I believe there are still things in my team that I can improve. And the rest is a bit of luck – which I lacked a lot last year. And I think that, with that, you will get closer and closer to that reality. Then it’s about scoring points and doing the math at the end of the year‘.
Le #88 croit qu’il est prêt à se battre régulièrement en tête et est également confiant dans le potentiel existant: ‘En termes de technique, en termes de préparation mentale, je me sens prêt à disputer quelque chose de grand, à être toujours parmi les premiers chaque week-end. Il y a encore quelques ajustements que je dois faire avec cette nouvelle moto, que je n’ai pas encore faits. J’ai du mal à dire exactement ce que c’est, mais je sens un potentiel encore très important à atteindre. Et je pense que, lorsque j’atteindrai ce potentiel, je pourrai être très régulièrement parmi les premiers. Ensuite, il s’agira d’être moi-même et de mettre tout mon engagement’.
