After a two-week break, the motorcycle world championship returns for another round of twelve races on European ground.
The Portuguese rider from the Red Bull KTM Tech3 team takes action in Europe for the first time in the premier class. Miguel Oliveira is enthusiastic about the Red Bull Grand Prix of Spain in Jerez de la Frontera and intends to continue to score points in the MotoGP World Championship.
The Portuguese rookie arrives in the fourth round with a total of seven points, which he is confident will increase, as this is a circuit in which the rider has already had the opportunity to ride his KTM RC16 during the tests in November.
"Jerez is a Grand Prix that I really like. Firstly, because it is the closest Grand Prix to Portugal and therefore, usually many portuguese fans go to see me. It's very special to me. Secondly, it's a circuit that I also like a lot and so I'm very excited to get back on it. The test in November gave me some insight into what I had to improve in my riding and that was very positive. I'm sure it will be a fantastic weekend. After a two-week break, I can not wait to see the whole team again and get back to work. The main objective for this race is to re-score and the whole team's mindset will be this until the end of the season – always score. After the result in Austin, I want to get back on the bike fast and work hard." Miguel Oliveira
The Red Bull KTM Tech3 team will return to test in the Spanish circuit during the three official days of tests that will happen after the race.
The Almada rider will be back in action tomorrow, Friday, at 8.55 am (Portugal time), during the first free practice session.
