In what might have been the end of the season for him, Miguel Oliveira fractured his right scapula in a severe crash during the first lap of the MotoGP Qatar GP Sprint race – where he collided with the rear of Aleix Espargaró (Aprilia).
The Portuguese rider from CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP Team took to social media to leave a message to his followers, not only apologizing to his rival but also expressing gratitude for the support from fans:
– First of all, I want to apologize to Aleix Espargaró for ending his race. Second to say that my weekend ends here with a fracture in the right scapula.
