Clear as water. Miguel Oliveira has confirmed that there is a real chance that he will change teams for the coming season. Honda or the official Aprilia team are very strong possibilities at the moment for the Portuguese rider.
‘Regarding the possibility of going to Honda, it’s real, it’s possible, but for now there’s nothing concrete, I can’t give any more information. My situation is quite clear, I have a contract with Aprilia for 2024, in the RNF team, it’s also true that if I have a proposal from a factory team we can, of course, talk to Aprilia and understand my future direction with them and eventually be able to break the contract,’ Oliveira began by saying in statements to Sport TV.
In addition to the Japanese manufacturer, a move to the official Aprilia team is on the table. This would mean one of two possibilities, either the departure of Maverick Viñales or Aleix Espargaró.
– ‘For now, a rider would have to leave, there are a lot of things up in the air, it’s true that Honda is looking for a top rider, it’s not clear whether you’ll find him in the Factory Team or another team,’ he said. The next few weeks promise to be intense and will reveal what the Almada rider’s future will be in the premier class of motorcycling.
