Two bikes in the mix but “clever” Miguel Oliveira backed to make “right decision”
Miguel Oliveira "hasn't done enough" fo𓆉r factory Aprilia ൲but has two options remaining

Miguel Oliveira has been backed to make the correct d𝐆ecision over his🏅 future.
Remaining at Trackhouse Aprilia is a viable option despite his expiring contract, but Yamaha's new Pramac project are ꦬalso𒀰 credited with an interest in him.
Oliveira was overlooke♍d for the factory Aprilia team next season💫 in favour of Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi.
"He hasn’t done enough to warrant it," Michae🦂l Laverty said on TNT Sports.
"We all kn🍌ow Miguel’s ability but you’ve got to deliver in this sport♐."
Oliveira enjoyed the best day of his 2024 on the S꧑aturday of the Ge♕rman MotoGP.
He qualified in second, 𒆙then finished the sprint race in second behind Martin. Oliveira was sixth in the Sunday race but it represented a reminder of his talents.
"Now that he’s found a little bit of something with his base set-up, and he can arrive at a track and work on the ෴details, that’s when you extract the most from yourself and your riding style," Laverty said.
"He hadn’t found𝕴 that sweet sp🍸ot but he’s there now.
"We know Yamaha are interested in him because he’s one of the most clever riders on the grid.&nbs📖p;
"He’s got experience and he’sജ still young. He’s got a high level of potential if they unlock it.
"You can see why Yamaha would offer hi𒅌m a contract.
"Would he go for that, over the [Trackhouse] contract because he’s be🌠en passed by [for the factory Aprilia]? Maybe not.
"He’s a clever rider who wꦯill make the right decision💃."
Sylvain Guintoli added: "[Yam🦂aha] would de💝finitely suit him, whether he decides to go there or not.
"The Trackhouse and Aprilia, w🧸ith Davide B🔯rivio, is starting to gel.
"Normally that’s a snowball effect, things get better and better, you get more confident. When that happens, you don’t want to go. We’ve seꩵen 🤡great signs lately, it’s not a one-off.
"I feel for Miguel last year, it wasn’t his fault. He was quick, he gelled immediately with the Aprilia but got an injury in Portimao, then again ꦅin Jerez.
"It took h𒆙im time to rebuild. It’s nice when you can fight back, and come back."
Pramac's boss Paolo Campinoti, who will take them from Ducati to Yamaha next 💮season, named Oliveira and Jack Miller as two experienced riders that he is consid༺ering for the new-look team in 2025.
