Asked if he wanted Espargaro’s factory se𒐪at in 2024, Oliveira said: “The season has not started yet. Let’s just be♏ focused on what we must do.

“But, for sur♚e, if it’s available and if I deserve it? I will take it.”

Oliveira has completed his fꦍirst laps with RNF ahead of the Sepang test: “You always hope that the rider will match the bike. I had that hope. I have to say that I felt good.

“We need to keep very cܫalm with our feet on the ground, we know that we have💜 a lot of work to do in preseason.

“Starting the season strongly is a goa🍃l but we must keep in mind: this is a new team with a new rider,💞 a new bike.

“We will build, for sure, our speed and our sol꧂id base.”

Oliveira is most ꩲexcited about: “The bike itself. It is comp♏letely new to me, it suits my riding style.

“You feel the expectation that 🏅is building around this projec✨t.

“It would be super-nice if I can be close to Aleix and Maverick Vinales in 💫the first test. It is a goal to be near the factory guys.

“We expect to test lit🎐tle things, not a lot. Our job is to build a base and to understand what works for me, and what does not work. We will filter a couple of thingജs.”

Oliveira, who won two MotoGP grands prix last year, will be paired alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Raul Fernandez at RNF.
