The MotoGP world championship returns this weekend with the Malaysian GP and this will be Miguel Oliveira’s first time tackling the circuit in the championship as a CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP rider, with him looking back on his first test at thecircuit and showing hope that he can continue to make strides towards success.
The oortuguese rider, who recently praised the Aprilia RS-GP, recalled his first contact with the Aprilia in Malaysia, where he immediately felt very comfortable, although he is fully aware that now he will have no easy task in competition: ‘Thinking back to the test here at the Sepang Circuit, I remember I had a good feeling on the Aprilia when we have been lapping this circuit for the first time and the bike was still very new to us. I hope that this weekend we can come back to where we belong, although we know it’s not going to be easy’.
The focus is on moving forward and continuing on a path of growth: ‘Last time out in Buriram, we also managed to make some steps in the right direction, so we stay open and focused’.
Miguel Oliveira is currently 15th in the championship with 76 points and third among the Aprilia riders.
