Miguel Oliveira, the acclaimed Portuguese MotoGP rider, faces a significant dilemma regarding his stay in the championship. While Aprilia ensures the continuity of Viñales, the permanence of Aleix Espargaró is still uncertain. The brand has already shown interest in recruiting an Italian rider in case Aleix’s spot becomes available, leaving Oliveira in a situation of uncertainty.
Additionally, rumors are growing about Joe Roberts’ possible entry into Trackhouse Racing next year. This speculation raises doubts about who will be kept in the team, putting Raul Fernandez and Miguel Oliveira in a direct competition for their position.
To further complicate the scenario, there are rumors circulating in the paddock that Oliveira may be a choice for Yamaha in a future satellite team, or even move to Superbikes (SBK) with Aprilia.
This period is particularly turbulent, as 90% of the riders have contracts expiring this year, promising significant changes and much speculation. Oliveira, with all these possibilities open, faces critical decisions that will define the course of his career in the high-competition motorcycle scene. The future of the Portuguese rider is undoubtedly at the center of attention and is one of the stories to follow in this MotoGP transfer season.
