Miguel Oliveira made his first contact at the controls of the RS-GP, prototype of the CryptoData RNF Aprilia team, on Tuesday, in Valencia. The feeling couldn't have been better…
With the fourth best time of the first tests of the 2023 season, Miguel Oliveira was one of the names in the spotlight on Tuesday, as he achieved the fourth best time of the day.
A day that the Portuguese characterized as… «strange».
“It was a strange day. I think the first day is always a little strange as we have to adapt to a lot of different things. The team is also completely new, I had to meet the people and see what Aprilia's work philosophy is. In other words, I basically had to find a philosophy on how to work in the garage.”
Falcão also mentioned that the objective of the tests was to drive and “get as many sensations as possible to go to the winter break with something on which we can sleep. The objective was not to perform well, it was to continue riding and better understand the limits of the bike.”
In the end, Miguel Oliveira considered that the objective was achieved: «I believe that we managed to do well (…), although each bike has its strengths and weaknesses. And Aprilia is no different.”
