Miguel Oliveira placed his Aprilia RS-GP on the front row for the first time last weekend, after setting an incredible third fastest lap in Qualifying. In the Sprint Race, he managed to finish sixth, although he struggled a bit to maintain a stronger pace. Similarly, in the Sunday race, he was able to overcome some issues and ended up crossing the finish line in an excellent fifth place, giving the Portuguese and his CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP team a great boost of motivation for this weekend.
The weekend starts as usual with the first Free Practice at 10:45, local time, this Friday, followed by the Qualifying session at 15:00, local time, on the same day, which determines the entries for Qualifying one and two. The Marco Simoncelli World Circuit in Misano will also host a one-day test on Monday after the race weekend, before the entire MotoGP paddock heads to the Far East.
“Para Misano, tenemos una buena motivación yendo hacia el fin de semana de carreras. Sabemos que el desafío es diferente de Barcelona, ya que el Circuito Mundial de Misano es una pista completamente diferente, obviamente. Pero voy con la mente abierta y muy confiada.”
