At the beginning of the GP of the Americas in Austin, Texas, Miguel Oliveira did the 17th and the 22th place in the free practice sessions of the day. In the preparation sessions from the third GP of the season, the rider from Leopard Racing, which last year in Moto3 signed here the fastest lap and who departed from the first line of the grid, expects to continue improving and finding the best tuning which allows him to continue evolving.
"The day hadn’t a bad start. I had a first session very close from the top 10 with a positive pace but when the riders started to go faster I started to find some problems which with the team we couldn’t solve, nor in the second session. I hope that tomorrow we could continue the work in order to improve the bike for me to be faster.” Explains the young rider from Almada which in the first session did a time of 2’12,073s and who was able to improve in the first laps of the second session (2’11,698s).
The Moto2 riders return to the track tomorrow by 16h55 for the third and last session of free practices, followed by the qualifying at 21h05 (Lisbon time).
