A good start, several positions recovered, the 10th best lap of the race, and the pace of the top five. The third race of the Americas GP didn’t end as well as expected for the Portuguese rider from Leopard Racing but it did however, have a lot of positive elements.
After starting well by recovering several positions, for two times in the third race of the year (for the second time of the year?) the Portuguese rider fell in the 6th curve of the 10th lap which forced him to abandon when when he was so close to the 15th place: “I think that today’s race was positive, despite the final outcome. I had a good start and I was able to be aggressive in the first laps, I recovered 7 places, but after that some riders blocked my progression. I fell again to the 23rd but I recovered again for 16th and I was very close to the points before I lost the control of the front of the bike. I didn’t return to the race since the conditions weren’t good enough to make another recovery. We’re leaving with the head up high and eager to do better in the next race.” Said the rider
“I know that the result isn’t good but I feel that I progressed, especially in my driving and in the way I’m approaching the bike and the new category.” The 21 year old rider from Charneca da Caparica added.
The next stage, the first in European soil, takes place in Jerez de La Frontera, in two weeks and Miguel Oliveira will count with one being on his homesoil for Portuguese support.
