Miguel Oliveira is one of the many riders with an uncertain future in MotoGP. Currently at the end of his contract with Trackhouse Racing, he has also not been delivering the performances expected of him, in order to unequivocally show that he deserves to continue with the team or to be an option for another team.
Last week, the Italian press reported that the Portuguese rider may be in talks with Prima Pramac Racing. Something that he himself classified as speculation, in statements to SportTV this Monday:
– Rumors come from things that are not true and then things are created out of nothing. In the end, that’s it. So, I can only say that they are rumors as for sure during these three weeks you will also hear many rumors created out of nothing or from distorted words and statements that someone may make.
Speculation is always part of the silly season of the MotoGP rider market, especially in a year like this when almost everyone ends their contracts. Many rumors do not come true, others become reality, and there are also surprises like the announcement of Jorge Martín by Aprilia this Monday.
As for Oliveira, one thing is certain: despite only failing to score points in one of the first seven Grands Prix of the season, he will have to improve his results and performances, be more regularly among the top ten and close to the other current Aprilia RS-GPs, in order to have more negotiating power in this market window.
