Miguel Oliveira had a challenging season in MotoGP. The move to the CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP Team brought several challenges beyond adapting to the team and the Aprilia bike, including injuries and incidents for which he was not at fault.
In the end, he finished 16th in the championship and, for the first time since 2020, did not achieve any podiums – his best result was fourth place in Great Britain.
Despite everything, Carlo Pernat gave a positive assessment of Oliveira, stating to the website GPOne.com: ‘I am very undecided whether to give him a passing grade. He had many incidents, but he is a strong rider, so I would give him a six for the appreciation I have for him’.
