Miguel Oliveira finished the MotoGP Qatar GP practice in 19th position. After leading the session, he was unable to keep up with the pace at the front in the final stages and will have to go through the first qualifying phase – while his CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP Team colleague, Raúl Fernández, set the fastest time.
With his first flying lap, the rider from Almada was in 12th, then entered the top ten with his second attempt. Just over fifteen minutes into the session, when he had not yet shown a solid pace, he was in ninth place and returned to the pits.
Upon returning to the track, just over ten minutes later, he put on two soft tires and immediately improved to go to the top of the timesheets. His second pit stop didn’t do much. When he returned to the track, Oliveira was already fifth. Despite it being a short stint, he did not improve during it and dropped to 13th.
Quando ha iniziato la sua ultima sequenza di giri, “Falcão” era già 16°, continuando a perdere posizioni. Quando ha migliorato il suo tempo, non è riuscito a superare il 18° posto in cui si trovava. Nel suo ultimo giro, Oliveira non è riuscito a migliorare a causa di una bandiera gialla causata dalla caduta di Jack Miller (RedBull KTM) e ha concluso al 19° posto.
