Rumors continue to put Miguel Oliveira as a strong option for Repsol Honda in the next MotoGP season. Although he doesn’t rule out this possibility, the rider from CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP Team remains focused on his current project with the Malaysian team and Aprilia.
Speaking to SportTV, the Portuguese rider discussed his future as follows: ‘I keep focused on the same thing, which is what I have concretely in my career, which is Aprilia and RNF. I have an agreement with them until the end of 2024. It’s clear that when the world’s largest manufacturer approaches us for a possible factory seat, we never close that door – and that door logically remains open because they haven’t announced any riders yet. But until there are concrete things, I can’t say anything’.
When asked about whether contract duration and salary are factors separating him from an agreement with Honda, Oliveira declined to reveal details: ‘I won’t say anything; it would be quite unpleasant on my part to reveal that kind of information. My commitment is with Aprilia, with them, and that’s what I’m focused on dedicating myself to’.
