168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Miguel Oliveira is determined to turn the page on an injury-blighted 2023 MotoGP season and ‘pay♔ back💟 the trust Aprilia have given me’.

Injur🧜ies at Portimao, Jerez and Qatar contributed to the Portuguese star reaching the chequered flag just nine times last season, leaving him 16th in the world championship (with a best of fourth place at Silverstone).

Nonetheless, Aprilia are upping their support for the five-time KTM race winner 💞by supplying the Trackhouse rider with factory 2024 RS-GPs, as used by Official Aprilia Racing riders Aleix Espargaro and Maꦗverick Vinales.

Oliveira’s team-mate Raul Fernandez ꧋will start on the 2023 spec bike but then be upgraded at a l𓆉ater date.

“I'm making a twoꩵ-year step on the bike [from 2022 spec to 2024] so for sure I will need some time to adapt to the bike,” Oliveira said.

“I expect that maybe in the first couple of races we will, not struggle, but maybe we still don't reach t♋he full potential of the bike because we need time with it.

“I think as soon as we get the bike in a🍨 good place, we'll be hopefully consta🎀ntly challenging for good positions.

“[Predi✨ctions are] all a shot in the dark for the moment, we just need to get started and really see what the possibilities are🎉.

“But I'm co🍸nfident and I also believe a lot in what Aprilia did on the new bike.”

Like most of the fie🍷ld, Oliveira’s contract expires at the end of this season. Quizzed on whether he is already ꧒starting to think about where he wants to be in 2025, the 29-year-old responded:

“Look, I finished 9 races out of [20] last year! My only feeling generally at the moment is that I want to pay back the trust Aprilia have given𓆉 me and actually start doing the things which they hired me to do. And that's it.”

It’s not just the machinery upgrade that makes Oliveira confident ahead 𓄧of h🌊is sixth premier-class season.

Aprilia now has a season’s worth of knowledge as far as supplying a satellite team, new owner Trackhouse is bringing stabili🐼ty after the implosion of the CryptoDATA RNF project, while the proven pit crew remains unchanged.

“It's nice to be coming into a second year with theꦆ same crew, especially when we know everything worked the previous season,” Oliveira ♉said.

“We have for sure some good support from Aprilia also, and that 🦄is important.

“Aprilia now has experience from the previouꦬs season of what the challenges are of supplying another team and I think they are much, much more ready this this season than last year🌱.

“The feeling is really good [with Trackhouse]. You can definitely understand their racing background, the way they think abou🥀t their brand and the way they want to be present in MotoGP. They want us to perform as a team and this is the most importantꦑ thing.

“Now we just ne🌄ed experience. We need to get going and face the challenges of a race weekend.”

Oliveira will make his track debut 🃏in the red, white and blue Trackhouse livery during the Sepang test from February 6-8.
