Next weekend that Miguel Oliveira returns to one of 'his' circuits of choice, Mugello. Located in a valley of rare beauty in Tuscany, the Italian track saw the KTM in second position in 2021, being also the track where he won for the first time back in 2015, then riding the Moto3 KTM , a success he repeated in 2018 when fighting for the Moto2 world title.
In the ten years in which he competed in the 5245 meters of the track – in 2020 the race did not take place – Miguel Oliveira managed to finish in the top five six times, seven in the top ten and only once (2012) he couldn't finish the race, which makes Mugello one of the most successful circuits in his career in MotoGP.
The italian cathedral next to the historic city of Florence hosted a GP for the first time in 1976 but has been permanently on the calendar since 1991, setting itself apart from the other 'stages' of the championship due to its long straight to finish line – 1141 meters – and its 15 curves, 9 to the right and six to the left. Miguel Oliveira and the KTM RC 16 will have to complete a total of 23 laps of the circuit next Sunday, in a total of 120.6 kilometers.
