Miguel Oliveira took 16th place at the British Grand Prix, narrowly missing the points. He even led the pack at the start of the race, which was red-flagged after a crash between Morbidelli and Esparagaró.
The conditions at Silverstone were brutal, Oliveira said. The strong winds made it a physically demanding ride. He’s still finding his rhythm, about half a second off his best pace. But he’s making progress, and his speed is improving. The issue now is sustaining that pace over long distances.
Fabi Quartararo, Oliveira’s teammate, had a dramatic exit from the race. He was leading when disaster struck, forcing him to retire. “Tough break for Fabio,” Oliveira said. “He had the race in the bag. That’s just racing, though.” Oliveira’s optimistic about his own performance, but he knows there’s still work to be done. With more time, he’s confident he’ll find his groove.
