Miguel Oliveira placed his Aprilia RS-GP on the front row for the first time last weekend, after setting an amazing third fastest lap in Qualifying. In the Sprint Race, he managed to finish in sixth, although he struggled a bit to maintain a stronger pace. Similarly, in the race on Sunday, 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 Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli will also host a one-day test on Monday after the race weekend, before the entire MotoGP paddock heads to the Far East.
“Pour Misano, nous avons une bonne motivation en abordant le week-end de course. Nous savons que le défi est différent de Barcelone, puisque le Circuit mondial de Misano est une piste complètement différente, évidemment. Mais je vais y aller l’esprit ouvert et très confiant.”
