Le Grand Prix de Malaisie est le prochain défi pour Miguel Oliveira dans la saison 2023 de MotoGP. La chance n’a pas suivi le pilote portugais ces derniers temps, et il arrive maintenant sur une piste où il est déjà monté sur la plus haute marche du podium.
During his first season in the World Championships in 2011 in the former 125cc category, #88 couldn’t compete in the Malaysian round due to injury, so his debut in Sepang was only a year later in Moto3… and it was a fifth place. He improved to the lowest step of the podium in 2013, then suffered the setback of retirement in 2014. In his last season in Moto3, Oliveira achieved victory in Malaysia, which was the second of a sequence of three consecutive wins.
Once again, an injury prevented the Almada rider from competing in Malaysia in 2016, the year he made his Moto2 debut. Like in 2015, in the 2017 season Oliveira had the second victory in a sequence of three consecutive wins in Sepang. He bid farewell to the intermediate category in the following season with a second place in Malaysia.
Due to injury, when Oliveira joined MotoGP in 2019, he was absent from the Malaysian GP, while the pandemic prevented the race from taking place in 2020 and 2021. So far, the Portuguese rider has only competed in Sepang once in the premier class, when he finished 13th last year.
