It is already this weekend between the 4th and 6th of November that the 20th and final round of the MotoGP World Championship takes place. As is tradition, the Ricardo Tormo Circuit, in Valencia, Spain, will be the stage for this last race of the 2022 calendar, a circuit characterized by being rotated counterclockwise, with a sui generis variation of speeds.
Miguel Oliveira arrives in Valencia thirsty for another podium this season and with Falcão's aim aimed at climbing to eighth in the championship's overall standings (a position from which they are only 10 points away) or ultimately remaining in ninth, that is, still within the top-10 of the most successful MotoGP riders in 2022, which in itself «would already be a positive result».
The nine curves to the left and five to the right extend along about 4,000 meters of perimeter of the Valencian community circuit, a circuit where the pilot from Charneca de Caparica has added several achievements throughout his sporting history, including three victories: one in 2015, in Moto3 (by RedBull KTM Ajo) and the remaining two in Moto2, consecutively in 2017 and 2018, also with the Austrian team.
The race at the Valencia track takes place on Sunday, November 6th, at 1:00 pm, mainland Portugal time, over 27 laps, covering 108km.
