Aprilia, Miguel Oliveira: “It’s a small victory.”

Aprilia rider Miguel Oliveira commented on his fifth-place finish in Austin with satisfaction, “It’s a small victory for us to finish fifth on a track, which is normally not great for me. Also it was my first race with the Aprilia, which I was able to finish, so I’m happy to start my season like this again.”

“The race was a bit bumpy because of the crashes and the wind. We knew from Warm Up that the conditions would be a little tougher today. It was a challenge not to crash in the first two laps, but then I was able to get a good pace. The team did an incredible job today, giving me a great, fast bike that worked well.”
