Miguel Oliveira is one of the riders for Trackhouse Racing for the debut of the new team in MotoGP in 2024. He will have the latest version of the Aprilia RS-GP, so the ambitions are high… despite the caution for the first steps.
The Portuguese spoke about the first impressions of the new team, emphasizing that he expects to have the equipment to fight for top positions: ‘It is certainly unique to have an American team in the paddock for the first time. In terms of marketing and image, everyone is very excited. Personally, I will have the new bike technically, which is good, and I will have a good opportunity to fight for top positions.’
That being said, Oliveira admitted that the initial phase with the 2024 Aprilia RS-GP may have some challenges: ‘At first, I don’t really believe it, because the new bike still has a lot of work to do and we need to have everything well worked out, in all areas. And it’s not easy to set up a bike for the whole season. I think we will have some difficulties at the beginning, but I believe that when we start, it will be good.’
