Miguel Oliveira’s path to a factory Aprilia seat blocked by Aleix Espargaro but “never say never” says Massimo Rivola

The possibility of an unexpected space has been left open by Aprilia, even if their intention is to respect the contracts in place for current duo 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aleix Espargaro and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales.
The situation stems around Espargaro, MotoGP’s oldest rider this season at 33 yea💦rs old, and whether he will want to stick around fo🌳r the final year of his contract.
Oliveira has༺ joined Aprilia’s customer team✱ RNF this year, having left KTM at the end of 2022 when they wanted him to join their Tech3 satellite line-up.
"Miguel knows that Aleix and Maverick are under contr✤act with Aprilia for two more years," Aprilia race director Massimo Rivola told .
But the door was left open when Rivol✨a said: "We always emphasise: Never say never in ওlife.
“For ex🌼ample, we saw what can happen with Maverick with Yamaha in 2021.

“But our goal is to respect our plan. For exaꦍmple, if Aleix wants to quit after two years and maybe concentrate on his passion for road cycling, there is a free seat."
Vinales left Yamaha midway through 2021, a bitter relationship halted in extraordinary circumstances whenꦺ the rider was suspended for deliberately trying to damage his engine. He left the team before the end of the year.
Aprilia’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2024 MotoGP rider line-up may include Espargaro and Vinales unless anything su🐲rprisingly changes, but Olive🍬ira could profit next year from a factory bike with the RNF team.
Oliveira won two races last season, both in wet conditions. He is contracted by Aprilia for 2023 and 2024ꦇ - the sꦡame duration as Vinales and Espargaro.
